Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Wireless)
Command Usage
• When the WPA mode is set to “dynamic,” clients are
authenticated using 802.1x via a RADIUS server. 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.
• In the dynamic mode, keys are generated for each wireless
client associating with the access point. These keys are
regenerated periodically, and also each time the wireless
client is re-authenticated.
• When the WPA mode is set to “pre-shared-key,” the key
must first be generated and distributed to all wireless clients
before they can successfully associate with the access point.
