Table 7-6 Wireless LAN: 802.1x/WPA for WPA Protocol
The Prestige can operate in WPA Mixed Mode, which supports both clients running
WPA and clients running dynamic WEP key exchange with 802.1x in the same Wi-Fi
network.
Select the check box to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, clear the check box
and configure the Group Data Privacy field.
Group Data Privacy allows you to choose TKIP (recommended) or WEP for
broadcast and multicast ("group") traffic if the Key Management Protocol is WPA
and WPA Mixed Mode is disabled. WEP is used automatically if you have enabled
WPA Mixed Mode.
All unicast traffic is automatically encrypted by TKIP when WPA or WPA-PSK Key
Management Protocol is selected.
The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK
key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new
group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of
automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a
periodic basis. Setting of the WPA Group Key Update Timer is also supported in
WPA-PSK mode. The Prestige default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
When you configure Key Management Protocol to WPA, the Authentication
Databases must be RADIUS Only. You can only use the Local User Database
Only with 802.1x Key Management Protocol.
