Cipher Type: Select TKIP or AES as the cipher suite. The encryption
algorithm used to secure the data communication.
o TKIP. Use TKIP only. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides
per-packet key generation and is based on WEP.
o AES. Use AES only. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very
secure block based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES
option, the bridge can associate with the access point only if the
access point is also set to use only AES.
o TKIP and AES. The bridge negotiates the cipher type with the access
point, and uses AES when available.
Group Key Update Interval: Specify the number of seconds before the
group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed.
Authentication Timeout: Specify the number of minutes after which the
