lowercase alphabetic letters, numbers, and special characters) are used
and how long the string is. If the WPA-PSK complexity check feature is
enabled, the key is not accepted unless it meets the minimum criteria. See
WPA-PSK Complexity for information on configuring the complexity check.
• Broadcast Key Refresh Rate—The interval at which the broadcast (group)
key is refreshed for clients associated with this VAP.
The default is 300 seconds. The valid range is from 0 to 86400 seconds. A
value of 0 indicates that the broadcast key is not refreshed.
WPA Enterprise
WPA Enterprise with RADIUS is an implementation of the Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE
802.11i standard, which includes CCMP (AES), and TKIP encryption. The
Enterprise mode requires the use of a RADIUS server to authenticate users.
This security mode is backwards-compatible with wireless clients that support
the original WPA.
These parameters configure WPA Enterprise:
• WPA Versions—The types of client stations to be supported:
- WPA-TKIP—The network has some client stations that only support
original WPA and TKIP security protocol. Note that selecting only WPA-
TKIP for the access point is not allowed as per the latest WiFi Alliance
requirement.
- WPA2-AES—All client stations on the network support WPA2 version
and AES-CCMP cipher/ security protocol. This WPA version provides
the best security per the IEEE 802.11i standard. As per the latest WiFi
Alliance requirement, the AP has to support this mode all the time.
• MFP (Management Frame Protection) —Provides security for the
otherwise unprotected and unencrypted 802.11 management frames. This
field is visible only when WPA2 security and CCMP fields are enabled. The
following three check box values can be configured for it. The default is
Capable.
- Not Required
- Capable
- Required
• Enable pre-authentication—If for WPA Versions you select only WPA2 or
both WPA and WPA2, you can enable pre-authentication for WPA2 clients.
