Using LEAP Security

Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), also known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/password- based authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS server. In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot pass through an Ethernet hub or wireless network access point until it successfully authenticates itself.

The station must identify itself and prove that it is an authorized user before it is actually allowed to use the LAN. LEAP also delivers a session key to the authenticated station, so that future frames can be encrypted with a key that is different than keys used by others’ sessions.

To use LEAP security, you need:

•a RADIUS server.

•a Cisco access point with an 802.11b/g radio.
