The following table shows the data encryption options based on network authentication.

Rogue Access Points

Unidentified access points that use the SSID of a legitimate network can present a serious

security threat. Rogue Access Point Detection is enabled by default on managed access

points. To detect rogue access points, the Wireless Management Software or access point

scans the wireless environment on all available channels, looking for unidentified access

points.

Table 2. Network Authentication and Data Encryption

Network Authentication Data Encryption Description

Open None

WEP

No encryption.

Shared Key WEP

• 64-bit WEP encryption uses 40/64

bit encryption.

• 128-bit WEP encryption uses

104/128 bit encryption.

• 152-bit WEP is a proprietary mode

that will only work with other

wireless devices that support this

mode.

Legacy 802.1x

WPA with RADIUS

WPA2 with RADIUS

• Select the WPA2 option only if all

clients support WPA2. If selected,

you must use AES.

• WPA/WPA2 with RADIUS allows

clients to use either WPA (with

TKIP) or WPA2 (with AES). If

selected, you must use TKIP +

AES encryption.

All require RADIUS configurations.

WPA-PSK

WPA2-PSK

TKIP or TKIP +AES and a WPA

passphrase (network key)

Standard encryption method for WPA2.

WPA2-PSK AES and TKIP + AES Some clients might support AES with

WPA, but this is not supported by this

access point.

WPA and WPA2 TKIP + AES encryption and enter the

WPA passphrase (network key).

Clients can use either WPA (with TKIP)

or WPA2 (with AES).

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK TKIP + AE Broadcast packets use TKIP. For

unicast (point-to-point) transmissions,

and WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2

clients use AES.
