10.6 Wireless Security

Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless
stations, access points and other wireless.

The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your ZyWALL. EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) is used for authentication and utilizes dynamic WEP key
exchange. It requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service) server either on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication service for wireless
stations.
