The fingerprint is displayed regardless of whether it has been verified in

MSS.

The display ap config command lists a MAP fingerprint only if the fingerprint has been verified in MSS. If the fingerprint has not been verified, the fingerprint info in the command output is blank

Verifying a Fingerprint on a WX Switch To verify a MAP fingerprint, find the fingerprint and use the set ap fingerprint command to enter the fingerprint in MSS.

Setting the MAP Security Requirement on a WX

You can configure the WX to require all Distributed MAPs to have encryption keys. In this case, the WX does not establish a management session with a Distributed MAP unless the MAP has a key, and you have confirmed the fingerprint of the key in MSS.

A change to MAP security support does not affect management sessions that are already established. To apply the new setting to a MAP, restart the MAP.

To configure MAP security requirements, use the following command:

set ap security {require optional none}

The require option enforces encryption of management traffic for all

Distributed MAPs, and requires the key fingerprints to be confirmed in

MSS. The none option disables encryption of management traffic for all

Distributed MAPs. The default is optional, which allows connection to

MAPs with or without encryption.

The following command configures a WX to require Distributed MAPs to have encryption keys:

WX# set ap security require
