IP Address: IP address of the management interface for this device. IP Default Gateway: IP address of the gateway router between this device and management stations that exist on other network segments. · HTTP Server: Shows if management access via HTTP is enabled. · HTTP Server Port: Shows the TCP port used by the HTTP interface. · Version: Shows the version number for the runtime code. AP Wireless Configuration ­ The AP Wireless Configuration tables display the radio and VAP interface settings listed below. Note that Interface Wireless G refers the 802. 11b/g radio. · SSID: The service set identifier for the VAP interface. · Radio Channel: The radio channel through which the access point communicates with wireless clients. · Encryption: The key size used for data encryption. · Authentication Type: Shows the type of authentication used. · 802. 1X: Shows if IEEE 802. 1X access control for wireless clients is enabled. · · · · · · 5-86 Status Information 5 CLI Commands for Displaying System Settings ­ To view the current access point system settings, use the show system command from the Exec mode. To view the current radio interface settings, use the show interface wireless g 0 command (see page 6-107).

The Station Configuration page displays basic connection information for all associated stations as described below. Note that this page is automatically refreshed every five seconds. · Station Address: The MAC address of the wireless client. · Authenticated: Shows if the station has been authenticated. The two basic methods of authentication supported for 802. 11 wireless networks are "open system" and "shared key. " Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect to the access point without verifying its identity. The 5-88 Status Information 5 shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity by distributing a shared key to stations before attempting authentication. · Associated: Shows if the station has been successfully associated with the access point. Once authentication is completed, stations can associate with the current access point, or reassociate with a new access point. [. . . ] Access points attached to a wired network, support the creation of multiple radio cells that enable roaming throughout a facility. Ad Hoc A group of computers connected as an independent wireless network, without an access point. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) An encryption algorithm that implements symmetric key cryptography. AES provides very strong encryption using a completely different ciphering algorithm to TKIP and WEP. Authentication The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access. IEEE 802. 11 specifies two forms of authentication: open system and shared key. Backbone The core infrastructure of a network. The portion of the network that transports information from one central location to another central location where it is unloaded onto a local system. Basic Service Set (BSS) A set of 802. 11-compliant stations and an access point that operate as a fully-connected wireless network. Beacon A signal periodically transmitted from the access point that is used to identify the service set, and to maintain contact with wireless clients. Glossary-1 Glossary Broadcast Key Broadcast keys are sent to stations using 802. 1X dynamic keying. [. . . ]
