Chapter 9 Configuring a Wireless LAN Connection

Configure the Root Radio Station

 

Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

encryption method algorithm key

Specifies the encryption method, algorithm,

 

 

 

and key used to access the wireless interface.

 

Example:

The example uses the VLAN with optional

 

 

 

 

Router(config-if)#encryption vlan 1 mode

encryption method of data ciphers.

 

ciphers tkip

 

 

Router(config-if)#

 

Step 4

 

 

ssid name

Creates a Service Set ID (SSID), the public

 

 

 

name of a wireless network.

 

Example:

Note All of the wireless devices on a WLAN

 

 

 

 

Router(config-if)# ssid cisco

must employ the same SSID to

 

Router(config-if-ssid)#

communicate with each other.

 

 

 

Step 5

 

 

vlan number

Binds the SSID with a VLAN.

 

Example:

 

 

Router(config-if-ssid)# vlan 1

 

 

Router(config-if-ssid)#

 

Step 6

 

 

authentication type

Sets the permitted authentication methods for a

 

 

 

user attempting access to the wireless LAN.

 

Example:

More than one method can be specified, as

 

 

 

 

Router(config-if-ssid)# authentication open

shown in the example.

 

Router(config-if-ssid)# authentication

 

 

network-eap eap_methods

 

 

Router(config-if-ssid)# authentication

 

 

key-management wpa

 

Step 7

 

 

 

exit

 

Exits SSID configuration mode, and enters

 

 

 

interface configuration mode for the radio

 

Example:

interface.

 

Router(config-if-ssid)# exit

 

 

Router(config-if)#

 

Step 8

 

 

speed rate

(Optional) Specifies the required and allowed

 

 

 

rates, in Mbps, for traffic over the wireless

 

Example:

connection.

 

Router(config-if)#speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0

 

 

basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0

 

 

36.0

48.0 54.0

 

 

Router(config-if)#

 

Step 9

 

 

rts [retries threshold]

(Optional) Specifies the Request to Send (RTS)

 

 

 

threshold or the number of times to send a

 

Example:

request before determining the wireless LAN is

 

Router(config-if)# rts threshold 2312

unreachable.

 

Router(config-if)#
