Chapter 6 Configuring Authentication Types

Matching Access Point and Client Device Authentication Types

 

Command

Purpose

Step 6

 

 

countermeasure tkip hold-time

Configure a TKIP MIC failure holdtime. If the access point

 

seconds

detects two MIC failures within 60 seconds, it blocks all the

 

 

TKIP clients on that interface for the holdtime period.

Step 7

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 8

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

Use the no form of these commands to reset the values to default settings.

Matching Access Point and Client Device Authentication Types

To use the authentication types described in this section, the access point authentication settings must match the authentication settings on the client adapters that associate to the access point. Refer to the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows for instructions on setting authentication types on wireless client adapters. Refer to Chapter 5, “Configuring Encryption Types,” for instructions on configuring encryption on the access point.

Table 6-2lists the client and access point settings required for each authentication type.

Note Some non-Cisco client adapters do not perform 802.1x authentication to the access point unless you configure Open authentication with EAP. To allow both the Cisco access point clients using LEAP and non-Cisco clients using LEAP to associate using the same SSID, you might need to configure the SSID for both Network EAP authentication and Open authentication with EAP.
