Defining A Vns With No Authentication - Siemens HiPath C10 User Manual

Auto – The AP will advertise both TKIP and CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block
●
Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) for WPAv1. CCMP is an IEEE
802.11i encryption protocol that uses the encryption cipher AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard). Auto is the default.
TKIP only – The AP will advertise TKIP as an available encryption protocol for WPAv1.
●
It will not advertise CCMP.
7. To enable re-keying after a time interval, select Broadcast re-key interval.
If this checkbox is not selected, the Broadcast encryption key is never changed and the
Wireless AP will always use the same broadcast key for Broadcast/Multicast
transmissions. This will reduce the level of security for wireless communications.
8. In the Broadcast re-key interval box, type the time interval after which the broadcast
encryption key is changed automatically. The default is 3600.
9. To save your changes, click Save.

Defining a VNS with no authentication

You can set up a VNS that will bypass all authentication mechanisms and run Controller,
Access Points and Convergence Software with no authentication of a wireless device user.
A VNS with no authentication can still control network access using filtering rules. For more
information on how to set up filtering rules that allow access only to specified IP addresses and
ports, see Section 7.6.2, "Defining non-authenticated filters", on page 156.
To define a VNS with no authentication:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual Network
Configuration screen appears.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to configure with no
authentication. The Topology tab is displayed.
1. From the Assignment by drop-down list, select SSID.
1. Configure the topology for this VNS, then click Save. For more information, see Section
7.1.1, "Configuring topology for a VNS for Captive Portal", on page 125. You must save your
changes before moving to the next tab.
2. Click the Auth & Acct tab.
3. Click Configure Captive Portal Settings. The Captive Portal Configurations subscreen
appears.
