Resolution
For information on enabling LEAP on the Cisco Aironet Client Utility (ACU) with LINUX, refer to the Enabling LEAP section of Enabling Security Features.
Special attention should be paid to the use of strong passwords. Cisco LEAP is a password-based algorithm. To minimize the possibility of a successful dictionary attack, use strong passwords, which are difficult to guess. Some characteristics of strong passwords include the following:
- A minimum of ten characters.
- A mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters.
- At least one numeric character or one non-alphanumeric character (example: !#@$%).
- No form of the user's name or user ID.
- A word that is not found in the dictionary (domestic or foreign).
