Chapter 7 Controlling Lightweight Access Points

Configuring Global Credentials for Access Points

Using the CLI to Configure Global Credentials for Access Points

Using the controller CLI, follow these steps to configure global credentials for access points that join the controller.

Step 1 To configure the global username, password, and enable password for all access points currently joined to the controller as well as any access points that join the controller in the future, enter this command:

config ap mgmtuser add username user password password enablesecret enable_password all

Step 2 If desired, you can choose to override the global credentials for a specific access point and assign a unique username, password, and enable password to this access point. To do so, enter this command:

config ap mgmtuser add username user password password enablesecret enable_password Cisco_AP

The credentials that you enter in this command are retained across controller and access point reboots and if the access point joins a new controller.

Note If you ever want to force this access point to use the controller’s global credentials, enter this command: config ap mgmtuser delete Cisco_AP. The following message appears after you execute this command: “AP reverted to global username configuration.”

Step 3 To save your changes, enter this command:

save config

Step 4 To verify that global credentials are configured for all access points that join the controller, enter this command:

show ap summary

Information similar to the following appears:

Number of APs			1
Global AP User Name			globalap
AP Name	Slots	AP Model	Ethernet MAC	Location	Port	Country
--------	------	------------------- ------------------ ------------------				---- -------
HReap	2	AIR-AP1131AG-N-K9 00:13:80:60:48:3e		default location	1	US

Note If global credentials are not configured, the Global AP User Name field shows “Not

Configured.”

Step 5 To see the global credentials configuration for a specific access point, enter this command:

show ap config general Cisco_AP

Note The name of the access point is case sensitive.
