Table 10.9 WPA Enterprise Security Settings
Field
Description
Select the types of client stations you want to support:
WPA Versions
• WPA
• WPA2
• Both
WPA. If all client stations on the network support the original WPA but none support the newer WPA2, then
select WPA.
WPA2. If all client stations on the network support WPA2, we suggest using WPA2 which provides the best
security per the IEEE 802.11i standard.
Both. If you have a mix of clients, some of which support WPA2 and others which support only the original
WPA, select both WPA and WPA2. This lets both WPA and WPA2 client stations 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.
If for WPA Versions you select only WPA2 or both WPA and WPA2, you can enable pre-authentication for WPA2
Enable pre-
clients.
authentication
Click Enable pre-authentication if you want WPA2 wireless clients to send pre-authentication packet. The pre-
authentication information will be relayed from the access point the client is currently using to the target access
point. Enabling this feature can help speed up authentication for roaming clients who connect to multiple access
points.
This option does not apply if you selected "WPA" for WPA Versions because the original WPA does not support
this feature.
