Using WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two
security protocols developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in response to the weaknesses
of WEP.
Selecting WPA as the Encryption Method allows you to choose WPA version, WPA
Authentication and WPA Algorithm. This section discusses WPA-PSK (pre-shared
key). For information on WPA-Enterprise (WPA-802.1X), refer to “Customizing
802.1X Settings” on page 139.
Use of WPA-PSK (also known as WPA-Personal) allows automatic key generation
based on a single passphrase. WPA-PSK provides strong security for small and
medium organizations and does not require a RADIUS server, but may not be
supported on older wireless devices. In some cases, the older devices can be
upgraded with adapters to take advantage of WPA-PSK.
If you configure the WLAN with WPA-PSK, wireless users are not able to connect
to your WLAN unless their devices support WPA-PSK and are configured with the
same passphrase.
