Information, Computer and Network Security Terms Glossary and Dictionary

WLAN access points are generally connected to wired Layer 2 access switches, which ultimately connect to RADIUS and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) servers. The wireless clients and access points use Cisco LEAP to authenticate the WLAN client devices and end users against the RADIUS servers. Because Cisco LEAP does not yet support one-time passwords, passwords could be susceptible to brute-force hacking. To guard against this, IT departments should require that users choose strong passwords and set account lockouts after a small number of incorrect login attempt
