WEP keys can be distributed via dynamic WEP in conjunction with 802.1X is also possible, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Anthony,

 

We have the Aruba system too, utilizing WPA-TKIP, which authenticates users on the AD via Microsoft’s IAS. We decided to use WPA-TKIP primarily because TKIP handles key creation as well as the interval key changes. WPA-PSK is more secure than WEP but you still have the overhead of distributing the PSK; like you would a WEP key. Sure this process could be automated, but if the key is intercepted, it must be changed to maintain the integrity of your network.

Hello all,
        Currently we have the Aruba wireless solution at our facility with a combination of the AP60’s and 70’s and we are considering using WPA-TKIP or WPA-PSK encryption. I am curious to know if any of you have deployed WPA encryption at an enterprise level and if so how were the encryption keys distributed to the end-users?
