Encryption is supported by 802.11, providing seamless Wi-Fiauthentication for SIM-based user equipment.The ONT acts as the RADIUS client and sends the encapsulated EAP messages tothe AAA server via the WLAN Gateway, which acts as the RADIUS proxy server. Theinteraction between the ONT and the AAA server provides subscriber managementfor authenticated mobile users without adding authentication load to the 3G network.4.2.12 Support for soft GRE tunnelsThis section describes the support for soft GRE tunnels for integration with the 7750Service Router WLAN gateway. The Nokia 7750 Service Router WLAN GW canaccept soft GRE tunnels from any IP Source Address, in a preconfigured Subnet orAccess Control List, or MPLS label.4.2.12.1 GREGeneric Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate awide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over anInternet Protocol network. GRE provides a secure path for transporting packetsthrough a public network. In essence, GRE creates a private P2P connection, similarto a VPN, between clients and servers. GRE is the preferred transport mechanismbetween the Carrier Wi-Fi access network and the WLAN GW.WiFi Access point configurationAccess point associated deviceRadio configurationSSID configurationParameter category Functionality(2 of 2)
