Configuring WPA 293

The passphrase must be from 8 to 63 characters long, including blanks. If you use blanks, you must enclose the string in quotation marks.

To configure service profile wpa to use passphrase 1234567890123<>?=+&% The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy sl, type the following command:

WX1200# set service-profile wpa psk-phrase "1234567890123<> ?=+&% The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy sl" success: change accepted.

As an alternative to entering a passphrase, which MSS converts into a key, you can enter the key itself in raw hexadecimal format. To enter a PSK key in raw format, use the following command:

set service-profile name psk-raw hex

For hex, type a 64-bit ASCII string representing a 32-digit hexadecimal number. Enter the two-character ASCII form of each hexadecimal number.

To configure service profile wpa to use a raw PSK with PSK clients, type a command such as the following:

WX1200# set service-profile wpa psk-raw c25d3fe4483e867d1df96 eaacdf8b02451fa0836162e758100f5f6b87965e59d

success: change accepted.

Disabling 802.1X Authentication for WPA

To disable 802.1X authentication for WPA clients, use the following command:

set service-profile name auth-dot1x {enable disable}

This command does not disable 802.1X authentication for non-WPA clients.

To disable WPA authentication in service profile wpa, type the following command:

WX1200# set service-profile wpa auth-dot1x disable success: change accepted.
