Table 15. WPA Settings
Encryption Setting Description
WPA Version Options are WPA, WPA2 and WPA Auto.
• WPA2 provides the strongest security and is the
recommended setting. WPA2 incorporates a more
advanced encryption algorithm (AES) than WPA.
• WPA provides stronger security than WEP, but not as
strong as WPA2.
• WPA-Auto allows the bridge to choose the best level
of encryption and compatibility available. If both root
and non-root bridges are set to WPA2 or WPA-Auto,
they will use the strongest security method available
(WPA2 + AES).
WPA Algorithm When Auto is selected, the wireless bridge decides
whether TKIP or AES will be used. AES offers the strongest
encryption, and is the only option supported by the
802.11n standard. Selecting TKIP will result in decreased
performance and weaker security.
