The configuration settings for WPA are summarized below:
CLI Commands for WPA Pre-shared Key Security – From the
802.11a or 802.11g interface configuration mode, use the
authentication
command to set the access point to “Open
System.” Use the WEP
encryption
command to enable all types
of encryption. To enable WPA to be required for all clients, use the
wpa-clients
command. Use the
wpa-mode
command to enable
the Pre-shared Key mode. To enter a key value, use the
wpa-psk-type
command to specify a hexadecimal or
alphanumeric key, and then use the
wpa-preshared-key
command to define the key. Then disable 802.1X and MAC

1: Although WEP keys are not needed for WPA, you must enable WEP
encryption through the web or CLI in order to enable all types of encryption in
the access point. For example, use the CLI
encryption
command to set
Encryption = 64, 128 or 152, thus enabling encryption (i.e., all types of
encryption) in the access point.
2: Do not use WEP unless the access point must support both WPA and WEP
clients.
