Using the CLI to Configure WPA Pre-Shared Key

To enter a key value, use the wpa‐psk‐type command to specify a hexadecimal or alphanumeric key, and then use the wpa‐preshared‐key command to define the key. To view the current security settings, use the show interface wireless a or show interface wireless g command (not shown in example).

Example

RoamAbout 4102#configure

RoamAbout 4102(config)#no 802.1X

RoamAbout 4102(config)#interface wireless g

Enter Wireless configuration commands, one per line.

RoamAbout 4102(if-wireless g)#no 802.1x

WPA-Mode have been converted to preshare key

Using the CLI to Configure WPA over 802.1X Security

First set 802.1X to required using the 802.1X command and set the 802.1X key refresh rates. Then, from the 802.11a or 802.11g interface configuration mode, use the vap command to access each VAP interface to configure other security settings.

From the interface configuration mode, use the authentication command to select open system authentication and the encryption command to enable data encryption. Use the authentication command to enable WPA dynamic keys over 802.1X. Set the broadcast and multicast key encryption using the cipher‐suite command.
