4.4.3 WPA Personal Security Configuration
Choose the security configuration as WPA Personal and show the detailed
configuration information of WPA Personal security configuration. The WPA key should
be used on the client to authentication and to decrypt the packet.
WPA Versions Select the types of client stations you want to support:
WPA. If all client stations on the network support the original WPA but
none support the newer WPA2, then select WPA.
WPA2. If all client stations on the network support WPA2, we suggest
using WPA2 which provides the best security per the IEEE 802.11i
standard.
WPA and WPA2. If you have a mix of clients, some of which support
WPA2 and others which support only the original WPA, select both of
the check boxes. This lets both WPA and WPA2 client stations
associate and authenticate, but uses the more robust WPA2 for
clients who support it. This WPA configuration allows more
interoperability, at the expense of some security.
Cipher Suites Select the cipher suite you want to use:
TKIP, CCMP(AES) or TKIP and CCMP (AES)
Both TKIP and AES clients can associate with the AP. WPA clients
must have one of the following to be able to associate with the AP:
A valid TKIP key
A valid AES-CCMP key
Clients not configured to use a WPA Personal will not be able to
associate with the AP.
Key The Pre-shared Key is the shared secret key for WPA Personal. Enter
a string of at least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters.
Acceptable characters include upper and lower case alphabetic
letters, the numeric digits, and special symbols such as @ and #.
Broadcast Key
Refresh Rate Enter a value to set the interval at which the broadcast (group) key is
refreshed for clients associated to this VAP (the default is 300).
The valid range is 0-86400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the
broadcast key is not refreshed.
