2.5 Wireless LAN Security
Wireless LAN security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between
wireless clients and the wired network.
The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your ZyAIR. EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol)
is used for authentication and utilizes dynamic WEP key exchange. It
requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server either
on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication service for wireless stations
