8.10 802.1x Overview
The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication of
wireless stations and encryption key management. Authentication can be done using an
external RADIUS server for an unlimited number of users.
See also the section on RADIUS in this User's Guide.

8.11 Dynamic WEP Key Exchange

The AP maps a unique key that is generated with the RADIUS server. This key expires when
the wireless connection times out, disconnects or reauthentication times out. A new WEP key
is generated each time reauthentication is performed.
If this feature is enabled, it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the
Wireless screen. You may still configure and store keys here, but they will not be used while
Dynamic WEP is enabled.
To use Dynamic WEP, enable and configure the RADIUS server and enable Dynamic WEP
Key Exchange in the Wireless screen. Ensure that the wireless station's EAP type is
configured to one of the following:
• EAP-TLS
• EAP-TTLS
• PEAP
