Figure 5-2: WPA in a wireless network
Basic Requirements for WPA
WPA requires these elements:
1. A WPA enabled wireless adapter with WPA client software such as the WAG511.
2. A WPA enabled wireless access point.
3. WPA enabled RADIUS server with an optional Certificate Server.
• For the EAP-TLS option, you need a Certificate Authority (CA) such as Windows 2000
server or a public service such as Verisign. Both the RADIUS server and the client need to
have a certificate from a certificate server.
• For the EAP-PEAP option, you need a RADIUS server and a certificate server. The
RADIUS server needs to have a certificate installed from a certificate server. The client
can dynamically download the certificate from the certificate server. However, depending
on how your network is set up, Windows Domain Controller or Active Directory login
credentials can be used for authentication.
Fill in the worksheet and use the procedure below to configure the WPA settings of your WAG511.
