3.4.3.5 WPA RADIUS
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use
an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the
session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES)
to change the encryption key frequently, which vastly improves your security.
Description
TKIP can change the encryption key frequently to
enhance the wireless LAN security.
This uses the CCMP protocol to change the
encryption key frequently. AES can provide high-level
encryption to enhance the wireless LAN security.
This will automatically use TKIP or AES based on the
other communication peer.
Select "Passphrase" (alphanumeric format; e.g.,
"iamguest") or "Hexadecimal Digits" (in the "A-F," "a-f"
and "0-9" ranges; "12345abcde") for the format.
The pre-shared key is used to authenticate and
encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. To
place entries in the text fields:
64-bit WEP: Input 10-digit hex values (in the "A-F,"
"a-f" and "0-9" ranges) or 5-digit ASCII code as the
encryption keys.
128-bit WEP: Input 26-digit hex values (in the "A-F,"
"a-f" and "0-9" ranges) or 13-digit ASCII codes as the
encryption keys.
