Supported Standards and Conventions
The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 supports the following
standards and conventions:
standards and conventions:
•
Standards compliance. The wireless access point complies with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g
standards for wireless LANs, and is Wi-Fi certified for 802.11n standard.
•
Full WPA and WPA2 support. The wireless access point provides WPA and WPA2
enterprise-class strong security with RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as
dynamic encryption key generation. The WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK preshared key
authentication is without the overhead of RADIUS servers but with all of the strong
security of WPA.

authentication is without the overhead of RADIUS servers but with all of the strong

•
Multiple BSSIDs. The wireless access point supports multiple BSSIDs. When a wireless
access point is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is called a
basic service set (BSS). The basic service set identifier (BSSID) is a unique identifier
attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that differentiates one WLAN from
another when a mobile device tries to connect to the network.

The multiple BSSID feature allows you to configure up to eight SSIDs on your wireless
access point and assign different configuration settings to each SSID. All the configured
SSIDs are active, and the network devices can connect to the wireless access point by
using any of these SSIDs.

•
DHCP client support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices
upon request. The wireless access point can act as a client and obtain information from
your DHCP server; it can also act as a DHCP server and provide network information for
wireless clients.

•
SNMP Support. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Management Information Base (MIB) management.
•
802.1Q VLAN (virtual LAN) support. A network of computers that behave as if they are
connected to the same network even though they might actually be physically located on
different segments of a LAN. VLANs are configured through software rather than
hardware, which makes them extremely flexible. VLANs are very useful for user and host
management, bandwidth allocation, and resource optimization.
