Explanation

WPA Enterprise (also called WPA-802.1X) uses a RADIUS server to authenticate users individually, requiring each user to present credentials before gaining network access. This is why the RADIUS server IP must be configured on the WAP. TKIP is an encryption algorithm used within WPA Personal - it does not use RADIUS. WPA2 CCMP uses AES encryption and can be used in Enterprise mode, but 'WPA2 CCMP' as listed here typically refers to the Personal (pre-shared key) mode. WEP 128-bit is a deprecated, insecure protocol that does not support RADIUS-based authentication.
