AP Commands 267

set ap fingerprint

Verifies an AP’s fingerprint on a WSS. If AP-WSS security is required by a WSS, an AP can establish a management session with the switch only if you have verified the AP’s identity by verifying its fingerprint on the switch.

Syntax set ap num fingerprint hex

ap ap-num	Number of the AP whose fingerprint you are verifying.
hex	The 16-digit hexadecimal number of the fingerprint. Use a colon between
	each digit. Make sure the fingerprint you enter matches the fingerprint
	used by the AP.
Defaults	None.

Access Enabled.

History Introduced in WSS Software 4.0. Option dap removed in 6.0.

Usage APs are configured with an encryption key pair at the factory. The fingerprint for the public key is displayed on a label on the back of the AP, in the following format:

RSA aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa: aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa

If an AP is already installed and operating, you can use the show ap status command to display the fingerprint. The show ap config command lists an AP’s fingerprint only if the fingerprint has been verified in WSS Software. If the fingerprint has not been verified, the fingerprint information in the command output is blank.

Examples The following example verifies the fingerprint for AP 8:

WSS# set ap 8 fingerprint b4:f9:2a:52:37:58:f4:d0:10:75:43:2f:45:c9:52:c3

success: change accepted.
