Security Mode

 

The type of authentication that the phone uses to access

the WLAN. Valid values:

 

option, then highlight the

 

 

Open—Access to all access points (APs) without

encryption.

2.

 

 

Open with WEP—Open 802.11 authentication but

 

 

 

 

 

uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for encrypting

 

 

 

 

 

the data. Specifies access to all APs and

 

 

 

 

 

authentication through WEP keys at the local AP.

 

 

 

 

Shared Key—Shared key authentication using WEP.

 

 

 

 

LEAP—Lightweight Extensible Authentication

 

 

 

 

 

Protocol authentication exchanges a username and

 

 

 

 

 

cryptographically secure password with a RADIUS

 

 

 

 

 

server in the network (Cisco proprietary version of

 

 

 

 

 

EAP). LEAP supports WPA and WPA2.

 

 

 

 

EAP-FAST—Extensible Authentication Protocol

 

 

 

 

 

Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling

 

 

 

 

 

exchanges a username and cryptographically secure

 

 

 

 

 

password with a RADIUS server in the network

 

 

 

 

 

where a PAC (Protected Access Credential) is used to

 

 

 

 

 

established a secure tunnel for authentication.

 

 

 

 

 

EAP-FAST supports WPA and WPA2.

 

 

 

 

AKM—Selects the 802.11 authentication mechanism

 

 

 

 

 

automatically from the configuration information

 

 

 

 

 

exhibited by the access point. WPA-PSK or WPA

 

 

 

 

 

versions 1 or 2 can be used when configured for this

 

 

 

 

 

mode.

 

 

 

 

Note Consider the following when you select AKM: 1)

 

 

 

 

 

AKM uses LEAP for 802.1x when using WPA,

 

 

 

 

 

WPA2 or CCKM, 2) AKM selects the encryption

 

 

 

 

 

method by giving precedence to the strongest key

 

 

 

 

 

management type and then the strongest cipher,

 

 

 

 

 

and 3) CCKM is not supported with WPA2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

802.11 Mode

 

Specifies the wireless signal standard that is used in the
