Mobility System Software (MSS) encrypts wireless user traffic for all users
who are successfully authenticated to join an encrypted SSID and who are
then authorized to join a VLAN.
MSS supports the following types of encryption for wireless user traffic:
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA2 (Robust Security Network)
Non-WPA dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
Non-WPA static WEP
WEP is described in the IEEE 802.11 standard and WPA is described in the
802.11i standard.
WPA and RSN provide stronger security than WEP. To use WPA or RSN, a
client must support it. For non-WPA clients, MSS supports WEP. If your
network contains a combination of WPA, RSN, clients and non-WPA
clients, you can configure MSS to provide encryption for both types of
clients.
To configure encryption parameters for an SSID, create or edit a service
profile, map the service profile to a radio profile, and add radios to the
radio profile. The SSID name, advertisement setting (beaconing), and
encryption settings are configured in the service profile.
You can configure an SSID to support any combination of WPA, RSN, and
non-WPA clients. For example, a radio can simultaneously use Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption for WPA clients and WEP
encryption for non-WPA clients.
