Hotspot A Hotspot is used to authenticate users in a unique network segment (hotspot). The attributes of both the
hotspot and the Radius Server are required. For more information, see
MAC Authentication The switch uses a Radius server to see if a target MAC address is allowed on the network. The attributes of the
Radius Server are required. For more information, see
No Authentication When selected, no Authentication is used and transmissions are made (in the open) without security unless an
encryption scheme is used. This setting is not recommended when data protection is important.
8. Refer to the Encryption field to select amongst the following options:
WEP 64 Use the WEP 64 checkbox to enable the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol with a 40-bit key. WEP is available
in two encryption modes: 40 bit (also called WEP 64) and 104 bit (also called WEP 128). The 104-bit encryption
mode provides a longer algorithm that takes longer to decode than that of the 40-bit encryption mode. For detailed
information on configuring WEP 64 for the WLAN, see
WEP 128 Use the WEP 128 checkbox to enable the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol with a 104-bit key. WEP is
available in two encryption modes: WEP 64 (using a 40-bit key) and WEP 128 (using a 104-bit key). WEP 128
encryption mode provides a longer algorithm that takes longer to decode than that of the WEP 64 encryption mode.
For detailed information on configuring WEP 128 for the WLAN, see
4-136.
KeyGuard Uses a Brocade proprietary encryption mechanism to protect data. For detailed information on configuring KeyGuard
for the WLAN, see
Configuring WEP 128 / KeyGuard on page
WPA-WPA2-TKIP Use the WPA-TKIP checkbox to enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). For
detailed information on configuring TKIP for the WLAN, see
Configuring WPA/WPA2 using TKIP and CCMP on page
WPA2-CCMP WPA2 is a newer 802.11i standard that provides even stronger wireless security than Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
and WEP. CCMP is the security standard used by the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES serves the same
function TKIP does for WPA-TKIP. CCMP computes a Message Integrity Check (MIC) using the proven Cipher Block
Chaining (CBC) technique. Changing just one bit in a message produces a totally different result. For detailed
information on configuring CCMP for the WLAN, see
9. Refer to the Advanced field for the following information:
Accounting Mode If using a Syslog server to conduct accounting for the switch, select the Syslog option from the
drop-down menu. Once selected, a
> Edit screen. Use this sub screen to provide the Syslog Server IP address and port for the Syslog Server performing
the accounting function.
If either Hotspot, MAC Authentication, or 802.1x EAP have been selected from within the
Radius Config
Secondary Radius Accounting Server IP address, port, shared secret password, and timeout and retry. Define these
accounting settings as required for the switch.
The default Accounting Mode setting is
Answer Broadcast ESS Select this checkbox to allow the WLAN to respond to probes for broadcast ESS.
Use Voice Prioritization Select the
voice management packets and is supported only on certain legacy Brocade VOIP phones.
Enable SVP Enabling SVP (Spectralink Voice Prioritization) allows the switch to identify and prioritize traffic from
Spectralink/Polycomm phones.
Secure Beacon Closed system is the secure beacon feature for not answering broadcast SSID. This option still allows client to client
communication within the WLAN.
QoS Weight Sets the Quality of Service weight for the WLAN. WLAN QoS will be applied based on the QoS weight value with the
higher values given priority.The default value for the weight is 1.
