372 CHAPTER 11: MANAGED ACCESS POINT COMMANDS

set ap

boot-configuration

mesh psk-raw

Configures a raw hexadecimal preshared key (PSK) to use for
authenticating a Mesh AP to a Mesh Portal AP. Radios use the PSK as a
pairwise master key (PMK) to derive unique pairwise session keys for
individual WPA clients.
Syntax — set ap ap-number boot-configuration mesh psk-raw hex
ap ap-number — Index value that identifies the MAP on the WX.
hex — A 64-bit ASCII string representing a 32-digit hexadecimal
number. Enter the two-character ASCII form of each hexadecimal
number.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 6.0.
Usage — Use this command to configure the preshared key that a
Mesh AP uses to authenticate to a Mesh Portal AP. You must connect the
MAP to an WX switch and enter this command to configure the MAP for
mesh services prior to deploying the Mesh AP in its final untethered
location.
MSS converts the hexadecimal into a 256-bit binary number for system
use. MSS also stores the hexadecimal key in the WX configuration. The
binary number is never displayed in the configuration. To use PSK
authentication, you must enable it and you also must enable the WPA IE.
Examples — The following command configures MAP 7 to use a raw
PSK to authenticate with a Mesh Portal AP:
WX# set ap 7 boot-configuration mesh psk-raw
