3 In the Encryption Method menu, select WPA. The basic set of WPA-specific
encryption options appears on the page.
4 In WPA Authentication select the required WPA authentication type:
• WPA2 provides stronger wireless security than WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
and is the recommended option. However, older wireless clients may not be
compatible with WPA2. For example, WPA2 support on Windows XP requires
a Microsoft patch and is only available on Windows XP with Service pack 2
or later.
• WPA-WPA2 allows both WPA and WPA2 devices to operate on the same
WLAN.
5 Select 802.1x as the WPA Authentication mode. Additional options appear.
6 In WPA Algorithm select one of the following:
• AES: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) replaces TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) as the default (and recommended) encryption algorithm for
modern wireless LANs.
• Auto (TKIP+AES): Auto allows both encryption algorithms to be used on the
same WLAN. When Auto is selected, the wireless client decides whether
TKIP or AES is used. Note however that allowing TKIP reduces the perfor-
mance of the WLAN (as broadcast packets are limited to slower transfer
rates), and is therefore not recommended.
7 Configure the following settings to customize your 802.1X authentication:
• Radius NAS-ID: Enter the Network ID assigned to your AP in the RADIUS
server Client list.
• Authentication Server (required): Enter the information needed to establish a
connection between the AP and the RADIUS server.
• Accounting Server (optional): Enter the information needed to establish this
connection.
8 Click Update Settings to save and apply the changes. A confirmation message
appears at the top of this page.
NOTE Ruckus Wireless APs do not support arbitrary rate values for 802.1X clients
(if client rate limiting attributes are configured on the RADIUS server). Ruckus
Wireless APs support only those WLAN rate limiting values that can be set using
the AP web interface. If the rate returned by the RADIUS server does not match one
of these values exactly, it is approximated.
