Radio Interface 6

WPA2 PMKSA Life Time – WPA2 provides fast roaming for authenticated clients by retaining keys and other security settings in a cache for each VAP. In this way, when clients roam back into a VAP they had previously been using, re-authentication is not required. When a WPA2 client is first authenticated, it receives a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) that is used to generate the other keys used for unicast data encryption. This key and other client information form a client Security Association (SA) that the VAP holds in a cache. When the lifetime expires, the security association and keys are deleted from the cache. If the client returns to an access point after the association has been deleted, it will require full re-authentication. (Range: 1-1440 minutes; Default: 720 minutes)

CLI Commands for the Configuring the VAPs – From the global configuration mode, enter the interface wireless g command to access the 802.11b/g radio interface. From the 802.11b/g interface mode, you can access radio settings that apply to all VAP interfaces. To access a specific VAP interface (numbered 0 to 7), use the vap command. You can configure a name for each interface using the description command. You can also use the closed-systemcommand to stop sending the SSID in beacon messages. Set any other VAP parameters and radio setting as required before enabling the VAP interface (with the no shutdown command). To view the current 802.11b/g radio settings for the VAP interface, use the show interface wireless g 0 command as shown on 7-95.

SMC2552W-G2-17, SMC2552W-G2 specifications

The SMC Networks SMC2552W-G2 and SMC2552W-G2-17 are advanced wireless access points designed for a range of networking environments, offering robust features suited to both home and business applications. These devices are known for their reliable performance, making them a popular choice for those seeking to enhance network connectivity and coverage.

One of the primary features of the SMC2552W-G2 is its dual-band capability, operating on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. This versatility allows users to take advantage of the high capacity of the 5 GHz band, which is less congested and ideal for activities that require substantial bandwidth, such as streaming and online gaming. The 2.4 GHz band, on the other hand, provides better penetration through walls and is more suitable for basic browsing and mobile device connectivity.

Another significant characteristic is the device's support for the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, which enables data rates of up to 300 Mbps. This standard ensures a fast and stable wireless connection, facilitating a seamless online experience for multiple devices simultaneously. The integration of MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology further enhances the performance, allowing for multiple data streams to be transmitted and received, significantly increasing throughput and range.

The SMC2552W-G2 series also boasts advanced security features, including WPA/WPA2 encryption and support for 802.1X authentication. These security protocols provide robust protection against unauthorized access and ensure that data transmitted over the network remains secure.

In terms of management, these access points offer both web-based and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) interfaces, enabling users to easily configure and monitor the network settings. This user-friendly interface simplifies the process of overseeing network performance and troubleshooting issues when they arise.

The SMC2552W-G2 and SMC2552W-G2-17 are designed for easy installation, whether as stand-alone units or as part of a larger network. Their compact design allows for flexible mounting options, making them suitable for various environments.

In summary, the SMC Networks SMC2552W-G2 and SMC2552W-G2-17 provide an excellent combination of speed, security, and ease of management, making them ideal solutions for enhancing wireless connectivity in both home and office settings. Their dual-band functionality, compliance with the latest Wi-Fi standards, and comprehensive security measures ensure a reliable and efficient networking experience.
