New Features

WPA2 Support

Software release 2.1.0 includes support for WPA2 security. This includes Advanced Encryption

Standard (AES) for robust data confidentiality, Mixed-Mode operation for networks migrating from

WPA to WPA2, as well as key caching and preauthentication for fast roaming.

Neighbor AP Detection

The access point can scan all 2.4 GHz radio channels and find other access points within its

neighborhood. A database of detected access points and their radio settings is maintained where any

unauthorized access points can be identified.

The access point can be configured to scan periodically by setting the interval and scan duration.

Alternatively, the access point can scan continuously in a dedicated mode with no clients supported.

Management Controls

To provide more security for the access point, management interfaces that are not required can be

disabled. This includes the Web browser interface, Telnet, and Secure Shell (SSH) access, and also

the serial console port and Reset button.

Manager and Operator Users

Management access to the access point’s Web and CLI interface can be controlled through Manager

and Operator user names and passwords. A Manager user name and password allows full read/write

privileges for the Web and CLI. An Operator user name and password is restricted to read-only access

for specified interfaces. A maximum of only two users can be configured, one Manager and one

Operator.

Management VLAN

A management VLAN can be configured for secure management access to the access point. The

management VLAN is for managing the access point through remote management tools, such as the

Web interface, SSH, Telnet, or SNMP. The access point only accepts management traffic that is tagged

with the specified management VLAN ID.

RADIUS Accounting

Software release 2.1.0 supports Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) Accounting.

RADIUS Accounting is an extension to the RADIUS authentication protocol that uses a central server

to log user activity on the network. A RADIUS Accounting server runs software that receives user-

session information from the access point. The data collected by the server not only provides the

information for billing and auditing, but also allows network administrators to monitor usage trends

and plan for network growth.
