NOTE The key renewal value dictates how often the wireless AP encryption keys should be changed. T
he security
level is generally higher if you set the key renewal value to a shorter number, which forces the
encryption keys
to be changed more frequently. The default value is 3600 seconds (6 minutes). Longer time periods can be
considered if the line is not very busy.
WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (for AP/Master mode)
By setting WPA type to Enterprise, you can use EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol), a framework
authentication protocol used by 802.1X to provide network authentication. In these Enterprise-level security
modes, a back-end RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server is needed if IEEE 802.1X
functionality is enabled in WPA /WPA2. The IEEE 802.1X protocol also offers the possibility of carrying out an
efficient connection authentication on a large-scale network. It is not necessary to exchange keys or
passphrases.
