2.6.5 Configuring Mixed Mode Security

Mixed mode security allows a single access point to transmit and receive
data with mobile units operating with different encryption algorithms. In
mixed mode, additional APs are not needed to support mobile units simply
because they are using different encryption schemes. 128-bit WEP, Kerberos
and EAP-TLS can be used together to provide mixed mode security.

To configure mixed mode security:

1. In the access point

System Summary

screen, set the

Shared Key

option

to

Enabled

and the

Key Width

to

128 bit

. Click

[F1]

to save the settings.

2. From the

Special Functions Menu

screen, select the

Configure

Kerberos

option. From the

Configure Kerberos Authentication

screen,

set the

Kerberos

option to

Enabled

. Enter the KSS Name/IP address.

3. Click

[F1]

to save the settings. Reboot.

If the

Key Width

is not set to

128 bit

, an error message displays (once the

settings are saved and Kerberos is enabled) stating 128 bit must be enabled.
Consequently, 128 bit is required for mixed mode security to be used. When
Kerberos is set, the key width defaults to 128-bit.
