Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) is an enhanced version of WPA. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) instead of TKIP. AES supports 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys. WPA/WPA2 also provide
strong user authentication based on 802.1x EAP.

WLANs available to the wireless network.
2. Select the Add button to create an additional WLAN or select an existing WLAN and select Edit to
modify the properties of an existing WLAN.
3. Select Security.
4. Select the WPA/WPA2-TKIP radio button from within the Select Encryption field.
The screen populates with the parameters required to define a WLAN WPA/WPA2-TKIP configuration for
