LEAP was proven to be susceptible to dictionary attacks, and EAP-FAST is preferable to
LEAP. In short, EAP-FAST is hardened LEAP with better crypto protecting the
challenge/response mechanism.
Using EAP-FAST
Before you can enable EAP-FAST authentication, your network access point must be
configured for EAP-FAST authentication. Perform one of the following from the Security
Tab:
y If you want to enable EAP-FAST without WPA/WPA2, choose 802.1x under Set
Security Options and LEAP in the 802.1x EAP Type drop-down box.
y If you want to enable EAP-FAST with WPA/WPA2, choose WPA/WPA2 under Set
Security Options and LEAP in the WPA/WPA2 EAP Type drop-down box.
