The Cisco Aironet security architecture is based upon an IEEE 802.1x standard utilizing the Extensible

Authentication Protocol (EAP), the open standard that enables wireless manufacturers and RADIUS server vendors

to independently develop interoperable hardware and software. For authentication of devices attached to the

workgroup, a username and password may be stored in the workgroup bridge in either static or dynamic memory.

When authenticated, the workgroup bridge receives a single-session, single-user encryption key from the Remote

Access Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server via the associated AP. With this centralized and standards-based

architecture, wireless security scales to meet the requirements of any enterprise.

The Cisco Aironet 350 Series Workgroup Bridge supports Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security architecture and

provides up to 128-bit encryption.

The workgroup bridge is available in two versions: one with a single, omnidirectional dipole antenna and another

with two RP-TNC connectors for applications that require antenna diversity or higher-gain antennas for long-range

applications. Other features include advanced diagnostic tools to simplify troubleshooting, remote system

configuration, and management via browser, Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMP).

The Cisco Aironet 350 Series Workgroup Bridge delivers superior range, reliability, and performance for business

users who need information access anytime, anywhere (see Figure 2). The workgroup bridge quickly connects any

Ethernet-enabled laptop or other portable computer to a WLAN, providing a “plug-and-play” solution for e-mail

and Internet access. Combined with unique Cisco security services, this product ensures that business-critical

information is secure. Most importantly, Cisco workgroup bridges are easy to use, making the benefits of wireless

mobility completely transparent.
