Wpa - LevelOne WAP-0010 User Manual

WPA

An effort by the Wi-Fi Alliance to overcome the security limitations of WEP. WPA is subset of the
IEEE's 802.11i wireless security specification. Key to WPA is the use of Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) to bolster encryption of wireless packets. In addition, WPA will use 802.1x and EAP
authentication, based on a central authentication server, such as RADIUS.
Check Box was used to switch the function of the WPA. When the WPA function is enabled, the
Wireless user must authenticate to this device first to use the Network service. RADIUS Server
Encryption
TKIP - Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for
wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is
used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity
check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
AES - The Advanced Encryption Standard, also known as Rijndael, is a block cipher adopted as
an encryption standard by the US government. It is expected to be used worldwide and analysed
extensively, as was the case with its predecessor, the Data Encryption Standard (DES).
RADIUS IP address or the 802.1X server's domain-name
RADIUS port : Default setting is 1812
RADIUS Shared Key : Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this device. This key value is
consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server.
