Section 4 - Managing the Access Point

Field Description

Broadcast Key

Refresh Rate

Enter a value to set the interval at which the broadcast (group) key is refreshed for clients

associated to this VAP (the default is 300).

The valid range is 0–86400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the broadcast key is not

refreshed.

Note: After you congure the security settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to

save the settings.

WPA Enterprise

WPA Enterprise with RADIUS is an implementation of the Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE 802.11i standard, which includes CCMP

(AES), and TKIP mechanisms. The Enterprise mode requires the use of a RADIUS server to authenticate users.

This security mode is backwards-compatible with wireless clients that support the original WPA.

Figure 26 - Modify Virtual Access Point Settings (WPA Enterprise)

Field Description

WPA Versions Select the types of client stations you want to support:

•) 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.

•) WPA and WPA2. 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 conguration allows more interoperability, at the

expense of some security.

Enable pre-

authentication

If for WPA Versions you select only WPA2 or both WPA and WPA2, you can enable pre-

authentication for WPA2 clients.

Click Enable pre-authentication if you want WPA2 wireless clients to send pre-

authentication packet. The pre-authentication information will be relayed from the AP

the client is currently using to the target AP. Enabling this feature can help speed up

authentication for roaming clients who connect to multiple APs.

This option does not apply if you selected WPA for WPA Versions because the original WPA

does not support this feature.
