What are the different encryption options available with Cisco Aironet Wireless Bridges?
A. All the platform of Cisco Aironet Wireless Bridges support Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WEP is not the most secure method to encrypt data across a wireless link connected through wireless bridges. Wireless bridges do support other encryption methods which are more secure than WEP. The 1300 Bridges support AES encryption, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP), Cisco Message Integrity Check (CMIC) with WPA in addition to Dynamic WEP with 802.1x. Dynamic WEP keys are more secure than static WEP keys. Because they change frequently, dynamic WEP keys are even more difficult to crack. The 1400 Bridges support WEP, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP), Cisco Message Integrity Check (CMIC) with WPA in addition to dynamic WEP with 802.1x.
