Award-Winning Security
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series has achieved National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS 140-2
level 2 validation and is in process for Common Criteria validation under the National Information Assurance
Partnership (NIAP) program.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series supports 802.11i, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and numerous
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. WPA and WPA2 are the Wi-Fi Alliance certifications for
interoperable, standards-based WLAN security. These certifications support IEEE 802.1X for user-based
authentication, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for WPA encryption, and Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) for WPA2 encryption. These certifications help to ensure interoperability between Wi-Fi-certified WLAN
devices from different manufacturers.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series hardware-accelerated AES encryption supports enterprise-class, government-
grade secure encryption over the WLAN without compromising performance. IEEE 802.1X authentication helps to
ensure that only authorized users are allowed on the network. Backward compatibility and support for WPA client
devices running TKIP, the RC4 encryption algorithm, is also supported by the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series.
Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series Access Points operating with LWAPP support Cisco Unified Intrusion Detection
System/Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS), a software feature that is part of the Cisco Self-Defending Network
and is the industry’s first integrated wired and wireless security solution. Cisco Unified IDS/IPS takes a
comprehensive approach to security—at the wireless edge, wired edge, WAN edge, and through the data center.
When an associated client sends malicious traffic through the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, a Cisco wired IDS
device detects the attack and sends shun requests to Cisco wireless LAN controllers, which will then disassociate
the client device.
Autonomous or unified Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series Access Points support management frame protection for the
authentication of 802.11 management frames by the wireless network infrastructure. This allows the network to
detect spoofed frames from access points or malicious users impersonating infrastructure access points. If an
access point detects a malicious attack, an incident will be generated by the access point and reports will be
gathered on the Cisco wireless LAN controller, Cisco WCS, or CiscoWorks WLSE.
Applications
Designed for rugged environments and installations that require antenna versatility, the Cisco Aironet 1240AG
Series features antenna connectors for extended range or coverage versatility and more flexible installation options.
Manufacturing applications, for example, can place WLANs in hazardous locations and remotely place antennas in
the hazardous locations while securing the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series Access Points. The access point without
wired connection will use the 5-GHz radio to wirelessly connect to the other access point for backhaul to the network.
The metal housing and industrial-grade components of the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series provide the ruggedness
and extended operating temperature range required in factories, warehouses, “big box” retail environments, and
similar facilities. High transmit power, receive sensitivity, and delay spread for both 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios
provide the long range and large coverage area consistent with these applications. 5-GHz radios are used as
wireless bridges between access points for backhaul to the network.
