The
auth
command automatically configures settings for each
authentication type, including encryption, 802.1X, and cipher suite. The
command
auth open-system
disables encryption and 802.1X.
◆
To use WEP shared-key authentication, set the authentication type to
“shared-key” and define at least one static WEP key with the
key
command. Encryption is automatically enabled by the command.
◆
To use WEP encryption only (no authentication), set the authentication
type to “open-system.” Then enable WEP with the
encryption
command, and define at least one static WEP key with the
key
command.
◆
When any WPA or WPA2 option is selected, clients are authenticated
using 802.1X via a RADIUS server. Each client must be WPA-enabled or
support 802.1X client software. The 802.1X settings (see
“802.1X
Authentication Commands” on page 169
) and RADIUS server details
(see
“RADIUS Client Commands” on page 163
) must be configured on
the access point. A RADIUS server must also be configured and be
available in the wired network.
◆
If a WPA/WPA2 mode that operates over 802.1X is selected (WPA,
WPA2, WPA-WPA2-mixed, or WPA-WPA2-PSK-mixed), the 802.1X
settings (see
“802.1X Authentication Commands” on page 169
) and
RADIUS server details (see
“RADIUS Client Commands” on page 163
)
must be configured. Be sure you have also configured a RADIUS server
on the network before enabling authentication. Also, note that each
client has to be WPA-enabled or support 802.1X client software. A
RADIUS server must also be configured and be available in the wired
network.
◆
If a WPA/WPA2 Pre-shared Key mode is selected (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK
or WPA-WPA2-PSK-mixed), the key must first be generated and
distributed to all wireless clients before they can successfully associate
with the access point. Use the wpa-preshared-key command to
configure the key (see
“key” on page 215
and
“transmit-key” on
page 216
).
◆
WPA2 defines a transitional mode of operation for networks moving
from WPA security to WPA2. WPA2 Mixed Mode allows both WPA and
WPA2 clients to associate to a common VAP interface. When the
