Working with VSCs
VSC configuration options
When encryption is enabled, wireless stations that do not support encryption cannot
communicate with the AP. The definition for each encryption key must be the same
on the AP and all client stations.
Key format: Select the format used to specify the encryption key:
ASCII: ASCII keys are much weaker than carefully chosen HEX keys. You can
include ASCII characters between 32 and 126, inclusive, in the key. However,
note that not all client stations support non-alphanumeric characters such as
spaces, punctuation, or special symbols in the key.
HEX: Your keys should only include the following characters: 0-9, a-f, A-F
802.1X
This option enables support for users with 802.1X client software that use any of the
following authentication methods: EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP. Additionally, when
an external RADIUS server is used, support for EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, EAP-FAST, and EAP-
GTC is also provided. Check your external RADIUS server for supported authentication
methods.
Note If 802.1X is used without enabling WEP, wireless traffic will be unencrypted.
RADIUS authentication realms
When realms are enabled for accounting or authentication, selection of the RADIUS server to
use is based on the realm name. If no match is found, then the configured RADIUS profile
name is used.
This applies to any VSC authentication or accounting setting that uses a RADIUS server.
