When the Access Point Is the Authenticator
If the Allow Swap check box is cleared, the access point that is acting as
the authenticator will not perform any authentications using SWAP.
Supplicants will need to authenticate with the authentication server
using TTLS or TLS.
However, older access points do not support these authentication
methods. If the Allow SWAP check box is checked, the access point that
is acting as the authenticator will authenticate any supplicants that offer
SWAP. Note that SWAP authentication is susceptible to downgrade
attacks from rogue supplicants as it is easier to break SWAP than TLS or
TTLS.
Configuring Spanning Tree Security
Note
If you are implementing an 802.1x security solution, secure IAPP
and secure wireless hops are automatically enabled.
1. From the Main Menu, select Security then Spanning Tree Security.
The Spanning Tree Security screen appears.
2. In the IAPP Secret Key field, enter a secret key. This secret key must be
between 16 and 32 bytes.
Doug/Tony: This screen is different then what Intermec’s.
