WPA2 and WPA PSK Settings

Topics:
Encryption Mode

In the Authentication Type field, select either WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA2-Auto-PSK.

EAPOL Settings
V1—selects the extensible authentication protocol over LAN version 1.
V2—selects the extensible authentication protocol over LAN version 2. This provides better security than version 1, but may not be supported by some wireless clients.
WPA Settings
Cypher Type—select TKIP. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is a protocol for enforcing key integrity on a per-packet basis.
Group Key Update—Specifies when the SonicWall security appliance updates the key. Select By Timeout to generate a new group key after an interval specified in seconds. Select By Packet to generate a new group key after a specific number of packets. Select Disabled to use a static key.
Interval—If you selected By Timeout, enter the number of seconds before WPA automatically generates a new group key.
Preshared Key Settings (PSK)
Passphrase—Enter the passphrase from which the key is generated. Click Apply in the top right corner to apply your WPA settings.
