Create a standard wireless network policy. For more information, see About SSIDs.
This option requires all users to authenticate themselves by entering the same
pre-shared key. Select the required Key Management,
Encryption
Method, and Key Type entries from
their respective drop-down menus or leave them at their default values, and enter a
required value in the Key
Value text box.
-
Select
Personal SSID Authentication.
-
Choose one of the following Key Management
options:
- Select WPA3
(SAE) to negotiate using WPA3 with clients. If all the
wireless clients support WPA3, it is a better choice than WPA2.
- Select WPA2-(WPA2
Personal)-PSK to use WPA2 for key management. WPA2
supports PMK caching and pre-authentication, whereas WPA does not.
- Select WPA-(WPA or
Auto)-PSK to use WPA for key management. WPA does not
support PMK caching or pre-authentication, but if the clients were
released before IEEE 802.11i was ratified and support WPA (not WPA2),
this option allows the Extreme Networks device to support them.
- Auto-(WPA or WPA2)-PSK to negotiate the use of
WPA2 or WPA with clients based on the version they support.
-
For Encryption Method
(WPA or WPA2 only): Choose CCMP (AES).
CCMP (AES)
(Counter Mode-Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) is a
security protocol that uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption. CCMP
provides message integrity by combining counter mode with CBC (cipher block
chaining) to produce a MAC (message authentication code).
Note
When the SSID is configured
for WPA3 (SAE), the encryption method is always set to 128-bit
encryption.
-
To define the Key Type (WPA or
WPA2 only) value with ASCII characters, choose ASCII Key.
-
For Key Value, enter
the pre-shared key and Confirm it.
