Hi SangLee, In my experience, the ability to do WEP and WPA simultaneously is a function of the Access Point rather than any other device in the network. If your AP vendor has implemented in such a way that you cannot run WEP and WPA simultaneously, then push them to fix this. Note, however, that your wireless security is only as strong as the weakest encryption and authentication mechanism. Therefore, if you are using WEP, you will have severely weakened your network. Even WPA with TKIP is reported to have been recently attacked in a much quicker time than previously possible. Ideally, you should look at WPA2/AES as the basis for your wireless security. If you have no choice but to use WEP, then you're likely to need a *very* short session-timeout in order to force the keys to change very frequently (the order of a few minutes at most) in a busy network. This puts a huge load on your RADIUS servers. Rgds, Guy 2008/11/10 Le Sang <lmsangdl@yahoo.com>:
Hello All,
Now, I'm using 802.1x for authenticating wireless user. But unfortunately, I cannot use 802.1x with WEP and WPA(WPA2)/AES. Can anybody help me and tell me why I cannot use 802.1x with methods encryption above.
Best Regard, SangLee
