● Authentication by AAA (802.1x)
Since users have already logged in and have been authenticated, there is no need for a Non-
Authenticated filter. When authentication is returned, then the Filter ID group filters are applied. For
AAA, a WM-AD can have a su/jointfilesconvert/418240/bgoup with Login-LAT-group ID that has its own filtering rules. If no
Filter ID matches are found, then the Default filter is applied.
Privacy on a WM-AD: WEP and WPA
Privacy is a mechanism that protects data over wireless and wired networks, usually by encryption
techniques. Summit WM-Series Switch Software supports:
● Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) which encrypts data sent between wireless nodes. Each node must
use the same encryption key.
● Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA v.1 and WPA v.2) privacy, in Enterprise Mode (which specifies 802.1x
authentication and requires an authentication server) or in Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode (which relies
on a shared secret). Encryption is by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or by Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP). If WPA v.2 is selected, both WPA v.1 and WPA v.2 are supported
simultaneously, defaulting to the highest encryption method.
Setting up a new WM-AD
Click on the WM-AD Configuration tab in any screen. The WM Access Domain Configuration screen
appears. For a new Summit WM-Series Switch Software installation, where no WM-AD has yet been
defined, the screen is blank, except for the Add subnet function.
Create a new WM-AD name
1 In the entry field above the Add subnet button, key in a name that will uniquely identify the new
WM-AD.
2 Click on the Add subnet button. The name appears in the left-hand list. The To po l og y screen appears.
