Table 3-2.
Field Descriptions
Shared Key The default authentication setting is Open System authentication. Select the Shared Key
Authentication Authentication checkbox to enable shared key authentication.
Note: The authentication method is separate from the data encryption. You can select an
authentication method that requires a shared key but still leaves the data transmissions
unencrypted. If you require strong security, use both the Shared Key and WEP
encryption settings.

To use legacy 802.1X security, you also must define RADIUS server settings. For information
about RADIUS servers, see
When you select 802.1X from the Security Policy pull-down menu, the section expands to
