ProSafe 802.11g Wireless VPN Firewall FVG318 Reference Manual
Configuring Wireless Connectivity 3-3
v1.0, September 2007
•Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2). The very strong authentication along with
dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA and WPA2 make it virtually impossible to compromise.
Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be
limited.
–WPA with PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key). WPA-PSK uses TKIP
standard encryption.
–WPA2 with PSK. WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support
WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption, and enter the WPA passphrase
(Network key).
–WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP
encryption) or WPA2 (with AES encryption). If selected, encryption must be TKIP +
AES.
–WPA with Radius. This version of WPA requires the use of a Radius server for
authentication. Each user (Wireless Client) must have a “user” login on the Radius
Server—normally done via a digital certificate. Also, this device must have a “client”
login on the Radius server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a key which is
automatically generated.
–WPA2 with RADIUS. WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients
support WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption, and configure the RADIUS
Server Settings. Each user (Wireless Client) must have a “user” login on the Radius
Server—normally done via a digital certificate. Also, this device must have a “client”
login on the RADIUS server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a key which is
automatically generated.
–WPA and WPA2 with RADIUS. This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with
AES encryption) or WPA2 (with TKIP encryption). If selected, encryption must be
TKIP+AES. You must also configure the RADIUS Server Settings
Understanding Wireless Settings
