Summit WM-Series Switch Software and your network
Summit WM-Series WLAN Switch and Altitude Access Point Software Version 1.0 User Guide

Network security
The Summit WM-Series Switch Software system provides features and functionality to control network
access. These are based on standard wireless network security practices.
Current wireless network security methods provide a degree of protection. These methods include:
Shared Key authentication that relies on Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys
Open System that relies on Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs)
802.1x that is compliant with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
Captive Portal based on Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
The Summit WM-Series Switch Software system supports these encryption approaches:
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), a security protocol for wireless local area networks defined in the
802.11b standard
Wi-Fi Protected Access version 1 (WPA1
TM
) with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2
TM
) with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Counter
Mode with Chipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CCMP).
Authentication
The Summit WM-Series Switch relies on a RADIUS server, or authentication server, on the enterprise
network to provide the authentication information (whether the user is to be allowed or denied access
to the network).
The Summit WM-Series Switch provides authentication using:
Captive Portal, a browser-based mechanism that forces users to a web page
RADIUS (using IEEE 802.1x)
The 802.1x mechanism is a standard for authentication developed within the 802.11 standard. This
mechanism is implemented at the port, blocking all data traffic between the wireless device and the
network until authentication is complete. Authentication by 802.1x standard uses Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) for the message exchange between the Summit WM-Series Switch and
the RADIUS server.
When 802.1x is used for authentication, the Summit WM-Series Switch provides the capability to
dynamically assign per-wireless-device WEP keys (called per-station WEP keys in 802.11).
In Summit WM-Series Switch Software, a RADIUS redundancy feature is provided, where you can
define a failover RADIUS server (up to 2 servers) in the event that the active RADIUS server fails.
Privacy
Privacy is a mechanism that protects data over wireless and wired networks, usually by encryption
techniques.
Summit WM-Series Switch Software supports the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard common to
conventional access points.
