Configure Legacy 802.1X
To use legacy 802.1X security, you need to define RADIUS server settings. For information
about RADIUS servers, see Configure RADIUS Server Settings on page 45.
When you select Legacy 802.1X from the Network Authentication drop-down menu, the Data
Encryption drop-down menu is automatically set to None. To use legacy 802.1X security, you
need to define the RADIUS servers only.

Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with
RADIUS
WPA, WPA2, and WPA & WPA2 security requires RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication, so
you also need to define RADIUS server settings. For information about RADIUS servers, see
Configure RADIUS Server Settings on page 45.
The selections that are available from the Data Encryption drop-down menu depend on the
type of WPA authentication that you select from the Network Authentication drop-down menu
and are shown in the table that follows the figures.

Encryption Key
(Key1–Key4)
Specify the active key by selecting one of the four radio buttons. Only one key can be the
active key. Either enter a key manually or allow the key to be automatically generated by
clicking the Generate Keys button. The length of the key depends on the selected
encryption:
• For ASCII format, depending on the key size selected, the manually entered
encryption key needs to have a length of 5 (64-bit WEP), 13 (128-bit WEP), or
16 characters (152-bit WEP).
• For HEX format, depending on the key size selected, the manually entered or
automatically generated encryption key needs to have a length of 10 (64-bit WEP),
26 (128-bit WEP), or 32 (152-bit WEP) characters.
Note: Wireless clients need to use the key to access the wireless access point.
