802.11i (WPA2)

The IEEE 802.11i is a new standard that

enhances the 802.11 MAC security and

authentication by stronger encryption,

authentication, and key management. The

WPA2 and 802.11i are virtually identical. The

WPA2 is the Wi-Fi Alliance base on the IEEE

802.11i and runs a certification program that

grants the WPA2 brand based on equipment’s

support of the important feature of 802.11i.

Besides the Pre-authentication function, setting

WPA2 is most same as WPA,

-

Pre-authentication

Enable pre-authentication to allow a client

to authenticate in advance with the AP

before the client is associated with it.

Allowing the AP to pre-authenticate a client decreases the transition time when a client roams

between APs.

Once you have selected the options you will use, click Apply to save all setting.

6.3 Wireless VLAN

When VLAN is enabled, all data coming out the WAN port is VLAN-tagged, which means an external

network unit such as router, switch , or a VLAN-enable computer had to be sure to terminate the VLAN

traffic. Data originating from or targeting to wireless network client is tagged with the VLAN ID

corresponding to an SSID it is associated with. Data generated by an Access Point itself is tagged with

the management VLAN ID.

To create a new VLAN, enter a VLAN ID (range form 1 to 4094) and an SSID. Set the security to None,

Static, or IEEE 802.11i and WPA.

After you create a VLAN you can modify it by selecting the VLAN from existing VLAN list.
