security on the 802.11g interface.

5.20.1 auth

This command configures authentication for the VAP interface.
Syntax
auth <open-system | shared-key | wpa | wpa-psk | wpa2 | wpa2-psk | wpa-wpa2-mixed |
wpa-wpa2-psk-mixed | > <required | supported>
•open-system - Accepts the client without verifying its identity using a shared key. “Open”
authentication means either there is no encryption (if encryption is disabled) or WEP-only
encryption is used (if encryption is enabled).
•shared-key - Authentication is based on a shared key that has been distributed to all stations.
•wpa - Clients using WPA are accepted for authentication.
•wpa-psk - Clients using WPA with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication.
•wpa2 - Clients using WPA2 are accepted for authentication.
•wpa2-psk - Clients using WPA2 with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication.
•wpa-wpa2-mixed - Clients using WPA or WPA2 are accepted for authentication.
•wpa-wpa2-psk-mixed - Clients using WPA or WPA2 with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for
authentication
•required - Clients are required to use WPA or WPA2.
