Configuring WLANsWireless Device Access
On a single WLAN, you can allow WPA1, WPA2, and 802.1X/PSK/CCKM/802.1X+CCKM clients to
join. All of the access points on such a WLAN advertise WPA1, WPA2, and 802.1X/PSK/CCKM/
802.1X+CCKM information elements in their beacons and probe responses. When you enable WPA1
and/or WPA2, you can also enable one or two ciphers, or cryptographic algorithms, designed to protect
data traffic. Specifically, you can enable AES and/or TKIP data encryption for WPA1 and/or WPA2.
TKIP is the default value for WPA1, and AES is the default value for WPA2.
You can configure WPA1+WPA2 through either the GUI or the CLI.
