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.
