Step 2
Use the 802.1x Protocol Version (for EAP authentication) drop-down menu to select the draft of the
802.1x protocol the access point radio should use. Menu options include:
802.1x protocol the access point radio should use. Menu options include:
•
Draft 7—No radio firmware versions compliant with Draft 7 have LEAP capability, so you
should not need to select this setting.

•
Draft 8—Select this option if LEAP-enabled client devices that associate with this access point
use radio firmware versions 4.13, 4.16, or 4.23.

•
802.1x-2001 (formerly Draft 10)—This is the default setting. Select this option if client devices
that associate with this access point use Microsoft Windows XP EAP authentication or if
LEAP-enabled client devices that associate with this access point use radio firmware version
4.25 or later.

LEAP-enabled client devices that associate with this access point use radio firmware version
4.25 or later.
Step 3
Click Apply or OK to apply the setting. The access point reboots.
Select WEP Key 1 as Transmit Key for EAP Authentication
If you use Network-EAP as the authentication type on your wireless network, you must select key 1 as
the transmit key on the access point AP Radio Data Encryption page. The access point uses the WEP key
you enter in key slot 1 to encrypt multicast and broadcast data signals that it sends to EAP-enabled client
devices. Because the access point transmits the WEP key used for multicast messages to the
EAP-enabled client device during the EAP authentication process, that key does not have to appear in
the EAP-enabled device’s WEP key list. The access point uses a dynamic WEP key to encrypt unicast
messages to EAP-enabled clients. When you set up a repeater access point to authenticate as a LEAP
client, the repeater derives a dynamic WEP key and uses it to communicate with the root access point.
Repeaters not set up for LEAP authentication use static WEP keys when communicating with other
access points.

If you do not use EAP authentication on your wireless network, you can select any WEP key as the
transmit key. If you use EAP authentication and you enable broadcast key rotation, you can enable WEP
without entering WEP keys.
