WPA2 EAP and WPA EAP Settings

When you finish configuring the settings, click Accept to apply your WPA/WPA2 EAP settings.

Topics:

Encryption Mode

From the Authentication Type drop-down menu, select either WPA-EAP, WPA2-EAP, or WPA2-AUTO-EAP.

EAPOL Settings

From the EAPOL Version drop-down menu, select:

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.

WPA2/WPA Settings

Specify these 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 Dell SonicWALL security appliance updates the key. Select By Timeout to generate a new group key after an interval specified in seconds; this is the default. 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. The default is 86400 seconds. If you selected Disabled for Group Key Update, this option is not displayed.

Extensible Authentication Protocol Settings (EAP)

Specify these settings:

Radius Server Retries—Enter the number of authentication retries the server attempts. The default is 4.
Retry Interval (seconds)—Enter the delay the server is to wait between retries. The default is 0 (no delay).
Radius Server 1 IP and Port—Enter the IP address and port number for your primary RADIUS server.
Radius Server 1 Secret—Enter the password for access to Radius Server
Radius Server 2 IP and Port—Enter the IP address and port number for your secondary RADIUS server, if you have one.
