Security
Note:
Before you configure security, you might want to read
Wireless Data
Security Options
on page 107.
Specify the wireless security by making a selection from the drop-down list:
•
OPEN
. This is the default setting. An open system has no authentication and
no encryption, and therefore no security configuration. However, you
can
use
an open system with encryption. To do so, select
WEP
from the Security
drop-down list. In the WEP Index and Keys section of the screen, take the
following steps:
- Select
Open System
authentication.
- Select the encryption.
- Enter a passphrase and generate a key, or enter a key manually.
•
WEP
. To configure WEP, take the following steps in the WEP Index and Keys
section of the screen:
- Select
Shared Key
authentication.
- Select the encryption.
- Enter a passphrase and generate a key, or enter a key manually.
•
WPA
. To configure WPA, select the encryption and authentication. The
remaining configuration depends on the selected authentication:
- For WPA-PSK, select a password.
- For WPA with RADIUS, configure the RADIUS server settings.
- For WPA with PSK+RADIUS, select a password and configure the
RADIUS server settings.
•
WPA2
. To configure WPA2, select the encryption and authentication. The
remaining configuration depends on the selected authentication:
- For WPA2-PSK, select a password.
- For WPA2 with RADIUS, configure the RADIUS server settings. As an
option, you can enable RADIUS preauthentication.
- For WPA2 with PSK+RADIUS, select a password and configure the
RADIUS server settings. As an option, you can enable RADIUS
preauthentication.
•
WPA+WPA2
. To configure WPA, select the encryption and authentication.
The remaining configuration depends on the selected authentication:
- For WPA+WPA2 with PSK, select a password.
- For WPA+WPA2 with RADIUS, configure the RADIUS server settings.
- For WPA+WPA2 with PSK+RADIUS, select a password and configure the
RADIUS server settings.

. You can select the following encryption from the drop-down list:
- TKIP
- TKIP+CCMP
•
WPA2
. You can select the following encryption from the drop-down list:

Enable
Pre-Authentication
Note:
WPA2 only.
For WPA2 only, if you have selected RADIUS authentication, configure
preauthentication by selecting the check box. Preauthentication allows a client
to roam from one access point to another access point without having to be
reauthenticated.
Radius Server Settings
Note:
WPA, WPA2, and
WPA+WPA2 only.
For WPA, WPA2, and WPA+WPA2 only, if you have selected RADIUS or
PSK+RADIUS authentication, click the

configure the RADIUS settings (see
RADIUS Client and Server Configuration
on page 235).
VLAN

and then select
AM
or
PM
from the drop-down list.
Stop Time
Specify the stop hour in the Hours field and the stop minute in the Minutes field,
and then select
AM
or
PM
from the drop-down list.

connected to this wireless profile from communicating with each other, select
the
WLAN Partition
check box. To disable wireless client separation, clear the
