station required.
If there is a mix of
stations, some
supporting WPA2
and others
supporting the
original WPA,
configure for both
(set both wpa/wpa2
allowed).
• When both TKIP and
CCMP authentication
methods are set, both
TKIP and AES stations
can associate with the
access point. WPA
stations must have either
a valid TKIP or an AES
key to communicate.
• For WPA2 wireless
stations to send pre-
authentication packets,
enable Pre-
authentication.
The AP 530 supports the following Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) methods: TLS, TTLS, MD5, and PEAP (MS-CHAP v2) when
configured to use an external RADIUS server for authentication. The AP 530 supports only PEAP (MS-CHAP v2) when configured to use the
built-in (local) RADIUS server.
To start, the access point is in the default configuration.
