2. Set the WPA Versions
Select the WPA version based on what types of client stations you want to support.
WPA Option | Example | |
  | 
  | |
WPA: If all client stations on the  | set bss wlan0bssInternal   | |
network support the original  | 
  | |
WPA but none support the  | set bss wlan0bssInternal   | |
newer WPA2, then use WPA.  | ||
  | ||
To support WPA clients:  | 
  | |
  | 
  | |
WPA2: If all client stations on the  | set bss wlan0bssInternal   | |
network support WPA2, we  | 
  | |
suggest using WPA2 which  | set bss wlan0bssInternal  | |
provides the best security per  | ||
  | ||
the IEEE 802.11i standard.  | 
  | |
To support WPA2 clients:  | 
  | |
  | 
  | |
Both: If you have a mix of  | set bss wlan0bssInternal   | |
clients, some of which support  | 
  | |
WPA2 and others which  | set bss wlan0bssInternal   | |
support only the original WPA,  | ||
  | ||
select "Both". This lets both  | 
  | |
WPA and WPA2 client stations  | 
  | |
assoicate and authenticate, but  | 
  | |
uses the more robust WPA2 for  | 
  | |
clients who support it. This  | 
  | |
WPA configuration allows more  | 
  | |
interoperability, at the expense  | 
  | |
of some security.  | 
  | |
To support both WPA and  | 
  | |
WPA2 clients:  | 
  | |
  | 
  | 
In this example, you will set the access point to support Both WPA and WPA2 client stations:
