WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS)
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) with Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is an
implementation of the Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE
Standard (AES), Counter mode/CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP), and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
mechanisms. The Enterprise mode requires the use of a RADIUS server to authenticate users, and
configuration of user accounts via the Cluster menu's User Management page.
This security mode is backward-compatible with wireless clients that support the original WPA.
When configuring WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS) mode, you can use either the built-in RADIUS server or an
external RADIUS server that you provide. The Professional Access Point built-in RADIUS server supports
Protected EAP (PEAP) and MSCHAP V2.

Select the types of clients you want to support:
• WPA—If all clients on the network support the original
WPA2, then select WPA
• WPA2—If all clients on the network support WPA2,
which provides the best security per the
• Both—If you have a mix of clients, some of which support
port only the original WPA, select Both. This option lets both WPA and WPA2 clients
associate and authenticate, but uses the more robust WPA2 for clients who support it.
This WPA configuration allows more interoperability, at the expense of some security.
