About Secure

IAPP and Secure

Wireless Hops

Secure IAPP prevents unauthorized AT-WL2411 Access Points from
joining the spanning tree and it encrypts IAPP frames. If you enable
secure IAPP, when access points communicate with each other through
the radios, they will create secure wireless hops using the Secure
Wireless Authentication protocol (SWAP). SWAP forces access points to
authenticate each other using an EAP-MD5 challenge. For more
information, see

Enabling Secure IAPP and Secure Wireless Hops

on

page 141.

By default, secure IAPP is disabled. All AT-WL2411 Access Points have the
same IAPP secret key so they can communicate with each other. When
you configure the access point as an authenticator, you enable secure
IAPP and secure wireless hops.
