Chapter 13: Configuring Security
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS)
Field Description
WPA Versions Select the types of client stations you want to support:
•WPA
•WPA2
•Both
WPA. If all client stations on the network support the original WPA but none support the newer
WPA2 , then select WPA.
WPA2. If all client stations on the network support WPA2 , we suggest using WPA2 which provides
the best security per the
IEEE 802.11i standard.
Both. If you have a mix of clients, some of which support WPA2 and others which support only the
original
WPA , select “Both”. This lets both WPA and WPA2 client stations associate and authenti-
cate, but uses the more robust WPA2 for clients who support it. This WPA configuration allows more
interoperability, at the expense of some security.
Enable pre-
authentication
If for WPA Versions you select “WPA2” or “Both”, you can enable pre-authentication for WPA2 clients.
Click
Enable pre-authentication if you want WPA2 wireless clients to send a pre-authentication
packet. The pre-authentication information will be relayed from the access point the client is currently
using to the target access point.
Enabling this feature can help speed up authentication for roaming clients who connect to multiple
access points.
This option does not apply if you selected “WPA” for WPA Versions because the original
WPA does
not support this feature.
