Because of the radio enhancements and traffic handling
efficiencies defined in the newer standard, bridging links
formed between radios configured to use 802.11n (refer to
Section 3.3.2.2) can show
Rate values higher than the
Maximum Rate configured for either individual interface
(refer to Section 3.3.4.10).
5.5.3 Secure Client and WPA2 Device Connections
Fortress Secure Clients connect to an encrypted interface on
the Bridge using Fortress’s Mobile Security Protocol (MSP).
Secure Client connections can be made through an Ethernet
interface configured to apply
Fortress Security (refer to Section
3.7.4) or through a BSS (Basic Service Set) on one of the
Bridge’s radios that has been configured to apply
Fortress
Security (refer to Section 3.3.4.13).
NOTE: The WPA2
Client Type
applies
only on Bridges
equipped with one or
more radios.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) clients connect to the Bridge
using the 802.11i WPA2 security standard through a BSS on
one of the Bridge’s radios that has been configured to use the
same standard:
WPA2, WPA2-Mixed, WPA2-PSK, or WPA2-Mixed-
PSK
(refer to Section 3.3.4.14).
Secure Client and WPA2 connections are shown on the
Clients/
WPA2
tab of the Connections screen.
Figure 5.9.

Clients/WPA2
tab, all platforms

The Connections screen displays these attributes of the
connected device:
Client Type - whether the device is an MSP (Fortress
Secure) Client, or a
WPA2 Client.
MAC Address - the Media Access Control address of the
Client device
Key Length - the key establishment method (refer to Section
4.1.3) used to secure the current session
Device ID - if the device is an MSP Client, the device’s
unique, hexadecimal, Fortress-generated identifier, which
provides device authentication on the Bridge-secured
network (when device authentication is enabled). WPA2
client devices are not assigned Device IDs.
Client Ver. - if the device is a Fortress Secure Client, the
version of the Fortress software currently running on the
connected device. WPA2 client devices, which do not run
Fortress software, report
N/A.
