Enabling EAP-FAST

Before you can enable EAP-FAST authentication, your network devices must meet the following
requirements:

350 series and CB20A client adapters must use the software included in Install Wizard version 1.3
or later on a computer running Windows 2000 or XP.

Access points to which your client adapter may attempt to authenticate must use the following
firmware versions or later: 11.23T (340 and 350 series access points), 11.54T (1200 series access
points), or Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)JA (1100 series access points).

Note

To use WPA or fast roaming (CCKM), access points must use Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA
or later. To use the Reporting Access Points That Fail LEAP or EAP-FAST Authentication
and Fast Roaming features, access points must use the firmware versions listed on

page 5-34

.

All necessary infrastructure devices such as access points, servers, gateways, and user databases
must be properly configured for EAP-FAST authentication.

Follow these steps to enable EAP-FAST authentication for this profile.

Step 1

Check the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) check box under Network Authentication on the Network
Security screen if you want to enable WPA. This parameter enables the client adapter to associate to
access points using WPA.

Note

Refer to the

“Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)” section on page 5-27

for additional information.
