Chapter 8 Security Setup

Setting Up EAP Authentication

Step 14 Enter a WEP key in slot 1 of the Encryption Key fields. The access point uses this key for multicast data signals (signals sent from the access point to several client devices at once). This key does not need to be set on client devices.

Step 15 Select 128-bitencryption from the Key Size pull-down menu.

Step 16 If the key in slot 1 is the only WEP key set up, select it as the transmit key.

Step 17 Click OK. You return automatically to the Security Setup page.

Enabling EAP in Cisco Secure ACS

Cisco Secure Access Control Server for Windows NT/2000 Servers (Cisco Secure ACS) is network security software that helps authenticate users by controlling access to a network access server (NAS) device, such as an access server, PIX Firewall, router, or wireless access point or bridge.

Cisco Secure ACS operates as a Windows NT or Windows 2000 service and controls the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) of users accessing networks. Cisco Secure ACS operates with Windows NT 4.0 Server and Windows 2000 Server.

Note You must use ACS version 2.6 or later to set up the access point in ACS.

Follow these steps to include the access point as a Network Access Server (NAS) in Cisco Secure ACS:

Step 1 On the ACS main menu, click Network Configuration.

Step 2 Click Add New Access Server.

Step 3 In the Network Access Server Hostname entry field, type the name you want to assign to the access point as an access server.

Note This field does not appear if you are configuring an existing NAS.

Step 4 In the Network Access Server IP address box, type the access point’s IP address.

Step 5 In the Key box, type the shared secret that the TACACS+ or RADIUS NAS and Cisco Secure ACS use to encrypt the data. For correct operation, the identical key (case sensitive) must be configured on the access point’s Authenticator Configuration page and in Cisco Secure ACS.

Step 6 From the Authenticate Using drop-down menu, select RADIUS (Cisco Aironet).

Step 7 To save your changes and apply them immediately, click the Submit + Restart button.

Tip To save your changes and apply them later, click Submit. When you are ready to implement the changes, select System Configuration > Service Control and click Restart.
