Chapter 9 Configuring a Wireless LAN Connection

Configure the Root Radio Station

Configuration Tasks

Perform the following tasks to configure this network scenario:

•Configure the Root Radio Station

•Configure Bridging on VLANs

•Configure Radio Station Subinterfaces

A configuration example showing the results of these configuration tasks is provided in the “Configuration Example” section on page 9-6.

Note The procedures in this chapter assume that you have already configured basic router features as well as PPPoE or PPPoA with NAT. If you have not performed these configurations tasks, see Chapter 1, “Basic Router Configuration,” Chapter 3, “Configuring PPP over Ethernet with NAT,” and Chapter 4, “Configuring PPP over ATM with NAT,” as appropriate for your router. You may have also configured DHCP, VLANs, and secure tunnels.

Configure the Root Radio Station

Perform these steps to create and configure the root radio station for your wireless LAN, beginning in global configuration mode:

		Command	Purpose
	Step 1
		interface name number	Enters interface configuration mode for the
			radio interface.
		Example:
		Router(config)# interface dot11radio 0
		Router(config-if)#
	Step 2
		broadcast-key [vlan vlan-id]change seconds	Specifies the time interval, in seconds, between
			rotations of the broadcast encryption key used
		Example:	for clients.
		Router(config-if)#broadcast-key vlan 1	Note Client devices using static Wired
		change 45	Equivalent Privacy (WEP) cannot use
		Router(config-if)#
			the access point when you enable
			broadcast key rotation—only wireless
			client devices using 802.1x
			authentication (such as Light
			Extensible Authentication Protocol
			[LEAP], Extensible Authentication
			Protocol–Transport Layer Security
			[EAP-TLS], or Protected Extensible
			Authentication Protocol [PEAP]) can
			use the access point.
			Note This command is not supported on
			bridges.
			See the Cisco IOS Commands for Access Points
			and Bridges for more details.
