22 Using Quick setup
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
This option is available in the Quick setup wizard only when you select the Multiple
wireless networks with RADIUS authentication network environment.
WPA Enterprise with RADIUS is an implementation of the Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE 802.11i standard,
which includes the TKIP and CCMP (AES) 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.
WPA versions
Select the types of wireless clients you want to support:
• WPA (TKIP). If all wireless clients on the network support the original WPA but none
support the newer WPA2, then select WPA. WPA (TKIP) cannot be used when the radio
operating mode supports 802.11n only.
• WPA2 (AES). If all wireless clients on the network support WPA2, we suggest using
WPA2, which provides the best security per the IEEE 802.11i standard. If the radio mode is
set to one of the 802.11n-only modes, WPA2 is the only supported WPA version.
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 setting enables both WPA and WPA2
wireless clients to associate and authenticate, but uses the more robust WPA2 for clients that
support it. This WPA configuration allows more interoperability, at the expense of some
security.
RADIUS IP address type
Select an IP version for communicating with the RADIUS server.
RADIUS IP or IPv6 address
Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the primary RADIUS server for this wireless community.
If IPv4 is selected as the RADIUS IP address type, enter the IP address of the RADIUS
server that all wireless communities use by default, for example 192.168.10.23. If IPv6 is
selected, enter the IPv6 address of the RADIUS server, for example 2001:0db8:1234::abcd.
Note You can configure only one RADIUS server using the Quick setup wizard. You can, however,
configure additional RADIUS servers using the Wireless > Communities page.
RADIUS key
Enter the RADIUS key in the text box.
The RADIUS key is the shared secret key for the RADIUS server. You can use up to 64
alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case-sensitive, and you must configure the
same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. The text you enter will be displayed as “*”
characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type.
