WEP-WPA at the same time in WLAN Controllers

[moises.rodriguez]

Hello

I'm about to migrate a wireless security method that is based in LEAP+WEP to PEAP+WPA, but the main challange is to make transparent the migration process to the end-users. Actually we have 1200 Series APs working in Autonomous mode. I know these APs can be configured to work with WEP and WPA at the same time. But I wish to use WLAN Controllers, is it posible to have WEP and WPA at the same time with the same SSID working with LWAPP?

Hola Moises.

I don't think that's possible. Why not have 2 distinct SSIDs? That way you'll have a clearer way of distinguishing b/w migrated and not-yet-migrated clients.

Just a suggestion.

From what I have found out, WPA works by itself, no other protocol is used. Leap OTOH uses WEP and username Password. Peap uses a CA and WEP. What you are trying to do is either or, you would need top Vlan and run two SSIDs for that authentication. If you are looking to secure it using a Certificate server, then just use PEAP, forget the WPA, of course that limits you to what Client cards can be used. For the most security with a multitude of cards, WPA-PSK is what to use, most cards sold in the past 18 months should be WPA capable, but not all are Cisco Compatible.
