Passphrase
Enter the key according to the type selected; in ASCII passphrase style (8 to 63 alphanumeric
characters and keyboard symbols), or in exactly 64 Hexadecimal characters. For an ASCII key,
HP recommends that the key be at least 20 characters long, and be a mix of letters and
numbers. The passphrase key cannot begin or end with spaces.
Group Key Interval
Enter the interval at which the broadcast (group) key is refreshed for clients associated with this
VAP interface (the default is 3600 seconds). The valid range is 60 to 86400 seconds. Specify
a value of 0 to disable the refreshing of broadcast keys.
Session Key Interval
Enter the interval at which the router refreshes session (unicast) keys for each client associated
with the VAP interface. To enable session key refreshing, specify a value in the range of 60 to
86400 seconds. Specify a value of 0 to disable session key refresh.
Configuring RADIUS settings
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication protocol that uses
software running on a central server to control access to RADIUS-aware devices on the
network. An authentication server contains a database of user credentials for each user that
requires network access.
When using WPA2 or WPA/WPA2 enterprise security, both of which use 802.1X as the
method of user authentication, or WEP with 802.1X, a RADIUS server must be configured and
available on the connected wired network.
The RADIUS server configuration includes the following settings:
Primary RADIUS Server
Enter the IPv4 address for the primary RADIUS server that the router uses by default. For
example: 192.168.1.23.
RADIUS Key
The RADIUS key is the shared secret key for the RADIUS server. You can use up to 64
alphanumeric and special characters. Do not use these characters: ` " & ' # \
Do not use blank spaces in the key. The key is case-sensitive, and you must configure the same
key on the router and on the RADIUS server.
Secondary RADIUS Server
Enter the IPv4 address for a backup RADIUS server. If authentication fails with the primary
server, the configured backup server is tried instead. If a secondary RADIUS server is
configured, be sure to enter the RADIUS key.
