Feature or Setting

 

CLI Command

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To set the cipher suite to CCMP (AES)

 

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip off

 

 

only:

 

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp on

 

 

CCMP (AES) - Counter mode/CBC-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAC Protocol (CCMP) is an

 

 

 

 

encryption method for IEEE 802.11i

 

 

 

 

that uses the Advanced Encryption

 

 

 

 

Algorithm (AES).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To set the cipher suite to Both:

 

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip on

 

 

Both - When the authentication

 

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp on

 

 

algorithm is set to "Both", both TKIP

 

 

 

 

and AES clients can associate with the

 

 

 

 

access point. WPA clients must have

 

 

 

 

either a valid TKIP key or a valid CCMP

 

 

 

 

(AES) key to be able to associate with

 

 

 

 

the AP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this example, we’ll set the cipher suite to Both:

AT-TQ2403# set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip on

AT-TQ2403# set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp on

4. Set the Pre-shared Key

The Pre-shared Key is the shared secret key for WPA-PSK. Enter a string of at least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters. Following are two examples; the first sets the key to "SeCret !", the second sets the key to "KeepSecret".

Ex1.

AT-TQ2403# set interface wlan0 wpa-personal-key “SeCret !”

Ex2.

AT-TQ2403# set interface wlan0 wpa-personal-key “KeepSecre”

Note: Shared secret keys can include spaces and special characters if the key is placed inside quotation marks as in the first example above. If the key is a string of characters with no spaces or special characters in it, the quotation marks are not necessary as in the second example above.

5.Get Current Security Settings After Re-Configuring to WPA/WPA2 Personal (PSK)

Now we can use the "get" command again to view the updated security configuration and see the results of our new settings.

The following command gets the security mode in use on the Internal network:

AT-TQ2403# get interface wlan0 security
