Wireless Section 73

set the network encryption keys. Up to 4 different keys can be set and you

can come back to select which one to use at anytime.

3. 802.1X — requires mutual authentication between a client station and the

router by including a RADIUS-based authentication server. Information

about the RADIUS server such as its IP address, port and key must be en-

tered. WEP encryption is also enabled and the encryption strength must al-

so be selected.

4. WPA — (WiFi Protected Access) — usually used for the larger Enterprise

environment, it uses a RADIUS server and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol) encryption (instead of WEP encryption which is disabled). TKIP

uses128-bit dynamic session keys (per user, per session, and per packet

keys).

5. WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access – Pre-Shared Key)—WPA for home and

SOHO environments also using the same strong TKIP encryption, per-

packet key construction, and key management that WPA provides in the

enterprise environment. The main difference is that the password is entered

manually. A group re-key interval time is also required.

6. WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access 2) —second generation of WPA which uses

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instead of TKIP as its encryption

method. Network re-auth interval is the time in which another key needs to

be dynamically issued.

7. WPA2-PSK (WiFi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key)—suitable for home

and SOHO environments, it also uses AES encryption and requires you to

enter a password and an re-key interval time.

8. Mixed WPA2 / WPA —during transitional times for upgrades in the enter-

prise environment, this mixed authentication method allows “upgraded”

and users not yet “upgraded” to access the network via the router. RADIUS

server information must be entered for WPA and a as well as a group re-key

interval time. Both TKIP and AES are used.

9. Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSK —useful during transitional times for upgrades

in the home or SOHO environment, a pre-shared key must be entered along

with the group re-key interval time. Both TKIP and AES are also used.
