Chapter 12 Configuring Authentication Types
Matching Access Point and
Client Device Authentication
Types To use the authentication types described in this section, the access point
authentication settings must match the authentication settings on the client
adapters that associate to the access point.
See the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and
Configuration Guide for instructions on setting authentication types on wireless
client adapters.
See Configuring Cipher Suites and WEP on page 345 for instructions on
configuring cipher suites and WEP on the access point.
TIP Some non-Cisco Aironet client adapters don’t perform 802.1X
authentication to the access point unless you configure Open
authentication with EAP.
To allow both Cisco Aironet clients by using LEAP and non-Cisco
Aironet clients and by using LEAP to associate using the same SSID, you
can configure the SSID for both Network EAP authentication and Open
authentication with EAP.
Likewise, to allow both Cisco Aironet 802.11a/b/g client adapters
(CB21AG and PI21AG) running EAP-FAST and non-Cisco Aironet clients
using EAP-FAST or LEAP to associate using the same SSID, you can
configure the SSID for both Network EAP authentication and Open
authentication with EAP.
If you are running an 802.11n access point, for best results make sure
to get the latest driver from the 802.11n Wi-Fi card vendor for the card
you are using.
