Dynamic WEP Key Exchange The AP maps a unique key that is generated with the RADIUS server. This key expires when the wireless connection times out, disconnects or reauthentication times out. A new WEP key is generated each time reauthentication is performed. If this feature is enabled, it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the Wireless screen. You may still configure and store keys here, but they will not be used while Dynamic WEP is enabled. Note: EAP-MD5 cannot be used with Dynamic WEP Key Exchange For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use dynamic keys for data encryption. They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for public deployment, a simple user name and password pair is more practical.

LEAP

LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a Cisco implementation of IEEE

802.1x.

Dynamic WEP Key Exchange

The AP maps a unique key that is generated with the RADIUS server. This key expires when

the wireless connection times out, disconnects or reauthentication times out. A new WEP key

is generated each time reauthentication is performed.

If this feature is enabled, it is not necessary to configure a default encryption key in the

Wireless screen. You may still configure and store keys here, but they will not be used while

Dynamic WEP is enabled.

Note:

EAP-MD5 cannot be used with Dynamic WEP Key Exchange

For added security, certificate-based authentications (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and PEAP) use

dynamic keys for data encryption. They are often deployed in corporate environments, but for

public deployment, a simple user name and password pair is more practical. The following

table is a comparison of the features of authentication types.

WPA and WPA2

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE

802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and

key management than WPA.

Key differences between WPA or WPA2 and WEP are improved data encryption and user

authentication.
