6. 2003 several members of the WI Fi Alliance teamed up with members of the IEEE 802 111 task group to develop a significant near term enhancement to Wi F1 security Together this team developed W1 Fi Protected Access To upgrade a WLAN network to support WPA Access Points will require a WPA software upgrade Clients will require a software upgrade for the network interface card and possibly a software update for the operating system For enterprise networks an authentication server typically one that supports RADIUS and the selected EAP authentication protocol will be added to the network 5 16 What is WPA2 It is the second generation of WPA WPA2 is based on the final IEEE 802 111 amendment to the 802 11 standard 5 17 What is 802 1x Authentication 802 1x is a framework for authenticated MAC level access control defines Extensible Authentication Protocol EAP over LANs WAPOL The standard encapsulates and leverages much of EAP which was defined for dial up authentication with Point to Point Protocol in RFC 2284 Beyond encapsulating EAP packets the 802 1x standard also defines EAPOL messages that convey the shared key information critical for wireless security 5 18 What is Temporal Key Integrity Protocol TKIP The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol pronounced tee kip is part of the IEEE 802 111 encryption standard for wireless LANs TKIP is the next generation of WEP the Wired Equivalency Protocol which is used to secure
7. 5 13 What is Preamble Type There are two preamble types defined in IEEE 802 11 specification A long preamble basically gives the decoder more time to process the preamble All 802 11 devices support a long preamble The short preamble is designed to improve efficiency for example for VoIP systems The difference between the two is in the Synchronization field The long preamble is 128 bits and the short is 56 bit 5 14 What is SSID Broadcast Broadcast of SSID is done in access points by the beacon This announces your access point including various bits of information about it to the wireless world around it By disabling that feature the SSID configured in the client must match the SSID of the access point Some wireless devices don t work properly if SSID isn t broadcast for example the D link DWL 120 USB 802 11b adapter Generally if your client hardware supports operation with SSID disabled it s not a bad idea to run that way to enhance network security However it s no replacement for WEP MAC filtering or other protections V2 1 0 2 4GHz Outdoor Router User Manual 5 15 What is Wi Fi Protected Access WPA Wi F1 s original security mechanism Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP has been viewed as insufficient for securing confidential business communications A longer term solution the IEEE 802 111 standard is under development However since the IEEE 802 111 standard is not expected to be published until the end of

33. ons A large data frame is fragmented into several fragments each of size equal to fragment threshold By tuning the fragment threshold value we can get varying fragment sizes The determination of an efficient fragment threshold is an important issue in this scheme If the fragment threshold is small the overlap part of the master and parallel transmissions is large This means the spatial reuse ratio of parallel transmissions is high In contrast with a large fragment threshold the overlap is small and the spatial reuse ratio is low However high fragment threshold leads to low fragment overhead Hence there is a trade off between spatial re use and fragment overhead Fragment threshold is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented If you find that your corrupted packets or asymmetric packet reception all send packets for example You may want to try lowering your fragmentation threshold This will cause packets to be broken into smaller fragments These small fragments if corrupted can be resent faster than a larger fragment Fragmentation increases overhead so you ll want to keep this value as close to the maximum value as V2 1 0 2 4GHz Outdoor Router User Manual possible 5 11 What is RTS Request to Send Threshold The RTS threshold is the packet size at which packet transmission is governed by the RTS CTS transaction The IEEE 802 11 1997 standard a
