y 802.11i (WPA2)
The IEEE 802.11i is a new standard that
enhances the 802.11 MAC security and
authentication by stronger encryption,
authentication, and key management. The
WPA2 and 802.11i are virtually identical. The
WPA2 is the Wi-Fi Alliance base on the IEEE
802.11i and runs a certification program that
grants the WPA2 brand based on equipment’s
support of the important feature of 802.11i.
Besides the Pre-authentication function, setting
WPA2 is most same as WPA,
- Pre-authentication
Enable pre-authentication to allow a client
to authenticate in advance with the AP
before the client is associated with it.
Allowing the AP to pre-authenticate a client decreases the transition time when a client roams
between APs.
Once you have selected the options you will use, click Apply to save all setting.
6.3 MAC address Filtering
The factory default for MAC Address filtering
is Disabled. If you enable MAC Address
filtering, you should also set the toggle for
Filter Type. This works as follows:
y If Filtering is enabled and Filter Type is
“Deny AII Except Those Listed
Below” , only those devices equipped
with the authorized MAC addresses will
be able to communicate with the AP. In
this case, input the MAC addresses of
all the PC cards that will be authorized
to access this AP.
y If Filtering is enabled and Filter Type is
“Allow AII Except Those Listed Below”, those devices with a MAC address which has been
entered in the MAC Address listing will NOT be able to communicate with the AP.In this case,
navigate to the report: Wireless Clients and copy the MAC address of any wireless Client that you
want to exclude from communication with the AP and input those MAC Addresses to the MAC
Address list.
