Chapter 7 Controlling Lightweight Access Points

Configuring Authentication for Access Points

Step 4 If you ever want to disable 802.1X authentication for all access points or for a specific access point, enter this command:

config ap dot1xuser disable {all Cisco_AP}

Note You can disable 802.1X authentication for a specific access point only if global 802.1X authentication is not enabled. If global 802.1X authentication is enabled, you can disable 802.1X for all access points only.

Step 5 To view the authentication settings for all access points that join the controller, enter this command:

show ap summary

Information similar to the following appears:

Number of APs

1

Global AP User Name

globalap

Global AP Dot1x User Name

globalDot1x

...

 

Note If global authentication settings are not configured, the Global AP Dot1x User Name field shows “Not Configured.”

Step 6 To view the authentication settings for a specific access point, enter this command:

show ap config general Cisco_AP

Note

The name of the access point is case sensitive.

 

 

 

 

Information similar to the following appears:

 

Cisco AP Identifier

0

Cisco AP Name

HReap

...

 

 

 

AP Dot1x User Mode

AUTOMATIC

AP Dot1x User Name

globalDot1x

...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

If this access point is configured for global authentication, the AP Dot1x User Mode fields shows

 

 

“Automatic.” If the global authentication settings have been overwritten for this access point, the

 

 

AP Dot1x User Mode field shows “Customized.”
