The following example applys the credentials profile test to the ssid testap1 on a repeater access point.
repeater-ap>enable
Password:xxxxxxx
repeater-ap#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CTRL-Z.
repeater-ap(config-if)#dot11 ssid testap1
repeater-ap(config-ssid)#dot1x credentials test
repeater-ap(config-ssid)#end

Creating and Applying EAP Method Profiles

You can optionally configure an EAP method list to enable the supplicant to recognize a particular EAP
method. See the “Creating and Applying EAP Method Profiles for the 802.1X Supplicant” section on
page 11-17.
Configuring IPv6
IPv6 is the latest Internet protocol for IPv, developed to provide an extremely large number of addresses.
It uses 128 bit addresses instead of the 32 bit addresses that are used in IPv4.
As deployments in wireless networks use greater number of IP wireless devices and smart phones, IPv6
with its 128-bit address format can support 3.4 x 1038 address space.
IPv6 addresses are represented as a series of 16-bit hexadecimal fields separated by colons (:) in the
format: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x.
There are three types of IPv6 address types:
Unicast
The Cisco IOS software supports these IPv6 unicast address types:
Aggregatable Global Address
Aggregatable global unicast addresses are globally routable and reachable on the IPv6 portion
of the Internet. These global addresses are identified by the format prefix of 001.
Link-Local Address
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 dot11 ssid ssid Enter the 802.11 SSID. The SSID can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters. SSIDs are case sensitive.
Note The first character cannot contain the !, #, or; character.
+,], /, “, TAB, and trailing spaces are invalid characters for SSIDs.
Step3 dot1x credentials profile Enter the name of a preconfigured credentials profile.
Step4 end Exits the dot1x credentials configuration submode
