Security Mode

Description

 

 

WPA2

WPA2 provides the best security for wireless

 

transmissions. This method implements the security

 

standards specified in the final version of 802.11i. The

 

security appliance supports the following WPA2

 

security modes:

 

WPA2-Personal:Always uses AES encryption

 

mechanism for data encryption.

 

WPA2-Enterprise:Uses WPA2 with RADIUS

 

authentication. This mode always uses AES

 

encryption mechanism for data encryption and

 

requires the use of a RADIUS server to

 

authenticate users.

 

 

WPA + WPA2

Allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to connect

 

simultaneously. The SSID automatically chooses the

 

encryption algorithm used by each client device.

 

This security mode is a good choice to enable a higher

 

level of security while allowing access by devices that

 

might not support WPA2. The security appliance

 

supports the following WPA+WPA2 security modes:

 

WPA/WPA2-Personal mixed: Supports the

 

transition from WPA-Personal to

 

WPA2-Personal. You can have client devices

 

that use either WPA-Personal or

 

WPA2-Personal.

 

WPA/WPA2-Enterprise mixed: Supports the

 

transition from WPA-Enterprise to

 

WPA2-Enterprise. You can have client devices

 

that use either WPA-Enterprise or

 

WPA2-Enterprise.

 

 

RADIUS

Uses RADIUS servers for client authentication and

 

dynamic WEP key generation for data encryption.

 

 

STEP 4 If you choose Open as the security mode, no other options are configurable. This mode means that any data transferred to and from the SSID is not encrypted. This security mode can be useful during initial network configuration or for problem solving, but it is not recommended for regular use on the internal network because it is not secure.
