Network Authentication and Data Encryption Options
This section describes the detailed network authentication and data encryption options that
you can select in the procedures that are described in
Group
on page 124 and
Table 10
on page 137 shows the data encryption options based on the network
authentication that you select on the Edit Profile (Basic) or Edit Profile (Group-X) page, and
the required configuration steps to implement the selected network authentication.
Note:
On the Edit Profile (Basic) or Edit Profile (Group-X) page, for any
selection from the Network Authentication menu that requires a
RADIUS server, authentication is not restricted to a RADIUS server;
you can also use an internal authentication server or an external
LDAP server.
Note:
You can configure either MAC authentication with an external
RADIUS server or network authentication with an external RADIUS
server, but not both. That is, if you configure external MAC
authentication, you cannot use an external RADIUS server with WPA,
WPA2, or WPA & WPA2.
