Configuring WLAN Security on
Controller
Open (no authentication) is typically set up on public APs. On a Cisco
WLAN controller, choose WLANs > Edit and then set Layer 2 Security to
None.
Setting Layer 2 Security to Static WEP, WPA, or WPA2 allows control of
parameters for a static key. If no WPA static key is entered, then the
controller will use EAP 802.1x to RADIUS.
Setting Layer 2 Security to 802.1X supports dynamic WEP keys. Key size
may be selected, but remember that Windows XP supports only 40-bit and
104-bit keys.
If Layer 3 Security is selected, then users will enter credentials on a
customizable web page, which then checks an internal database or a remote
RADIUS server.
