Configuring Privacy Methods - GO Networks WLP Technical Manual

Your WLP must be configured to support the Radius server communication.
At a minimum, you must identify the Radius server software and define
the method lists for Radius authentication. Alternatively, you can define
method lists for Radius authorization and accounting.
Identifying the Radius Server
WLP-to-Radius server communication involves several components:
IP address
a.
Authentication destination port
b.
Accounting destination port
c.
Key string
d.
You should identify the Radius security server's IP address and specific
UDP port numbers. The combination of the IP address and the UDP port
number creates a unique identifier.
A Radius server and the access point use a shared secret text (key) string
to encrypt passwords and exchange responses.
You can configure the Radius client in the WLP by using the following
command:
configure radius-server [primary | secondary] [authentication |
accounting] <port
64 string> enable

Configuring Privacy Methods

The privacy (encryption) scheme is configured per ESSID.
Using WPA Key Management
WiFi Protected Access (WPA) is a standards-based, interoperable security
enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and
access control for existing and future wireless LAN systems. It is derived
from and will be forward-compatible with the upcoming IEEE 802.11i
standard. It includes two new data-confidentiality protocols (TKIP and
AES-CCMP).
WPA leverages TKIP and AES-CCMP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol and
Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) for data
protection and 802.1X for authenticated key management.
WPA1 and WPA2 offer a high level of assurance for end users and network
administrators that their data will remain private and that access to their
networks will be restricted to authorized users.
WPA key management supports two mutually exclusive management
types:
