WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual The Layer 2 encryption depends upon the authentication method chosen (Table 5-2). Table 5-2. Encryption Options by Authentication Method Authentication Method None 802.1x WPA or WPA-PSK WPA2, WPA2-PSK, or xSec Combination of WPA or WPA-PSK and WPA2 or WPA2-PSK Encryption Option Open (Null) or Static WEP Dynamic WEP TKIP AES Mixed TKIP/AES For more information about data encryption options for the WLAN, see "Encryption" on page 1-10. Authentication Server If an external authentication server, such as a RADIUS server, will be used to validate the wireless user, the server administrator must configure the server to support this authentication. The administrator must also configure the server to allow communication with the WFS709TP. If the internal database in the WFS709TP will be used to validate the wireless user, you must configure user entries in the database. Table 5-3 is a summary of the authentication servers that you can configure for each authentication type in your WLAN. Table 5-3.
