WPA2/CCMP is based on the concept of a Robust Security Network (RSN), which defines a
hierarchy of keys with a limited lifetime (similar to TKIP). Like TKIP, the keys the administrator
provides are used to derive other keys. Messages are encrypted using a 128-bit secret key and a
128-bit block of data. The end result is an encryption scheme as secure as any the wireless
controller provides for its associated clients.

To configure WPA2-CCMP encryption on a WLAN:

1. Select Configuration > Wireless > Wireless LAN Policy to display available WLANs.

2. Select the Add button to create an additional WLAN or select an existing WLAN and choose Edit

to modify the properties of an existing WLAN.

3. Select Security.

4. Select the WPA2-CCMP check box from within the select Select Encryption field.

The screen populates with the parameters required to define a WPA2-CCMP configuration for
the new or existing WLAN.
