Configuring WPA+WPA2 and WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK Mixed Modes
WPA+WPA2 security requires RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication, so you also must define
RADIUS server settings. For information about RADIUS servers, see
“Configuring RADIUS
Server Settings” on page 45. WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK security uses a pre-shared key (PSK)
and does not require authentication from a RADIUS server. Depending on the wireless client,
these mixed modes use either TKIP or AES encryption.
When you select WPA-TKIP and WPA2-AES from the Security Policy pull-down menu, the
section expands to display the WPA-TKIP and WPA2-AES fields.
Figure 3-8 shows
Pre-Shared Key user authentication as an example.
Specify the fields that are explained in Table 3-6.

Field Descriptions
User
Authentication
Pre-Shared Key From the User Authentication pull-down menu, select the Pre-Shared
Key to enable WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK. This mixed mode does not
require a RADIUS server for authentication, but you must specify a
passphrase.
Passphrase Enter a passphrase with a length must between 8 and 63
characters (inclusive).
Click the Hide / Show Passphrase hyperlink to switch
between hiding and showing the passphrase on screen.
Hiding the passphrase provides added security in a
public environment.
RADIUS From the User Authentication pull-down menu, select RADIUS to
enable WPA+WPA2, which requires a RADIUS server for
authentication (see
“Configuring RADIUS Server Settings” on page
45). This is the default user authentication setting.
Re-Keying
Period
The period during which the broadcast key remains valid. When the period expires, the
broadcast key is no longer valid and must be renewed. The default is 3600 seconds
(1
hour).
Re-key on
re-keying period
Select the Re-key on re-keying period checkbox to require rekeying after the rekeying
period has expired.
