Nortel Networks 2300 manual Setting the AP Security Requirement on an WSS Switch

Configuring AP access points 263

Radio 2 type: 802.11a, state: configure succeed [Enabled] operational channel: 48 operational power: 11 base mac: 00:0b:0e:0a:60:01

bssid1: 00:0b:0e:0a:60:01, ssid: public

bssid2: 00:0b:0e:0a:60:03, ssid: nortel

The fingerprint is displayed regardless of whether it has been confirmed in WSS Software.

Note. The show dap config command lists an AP’s fingerprint only if the fingerprint has been confirmed in WSS Software. If the fingerprint has not been confirmed, the fingerprint info in the command output is blank.

Confirming a Fingerprint on the Switch

To confirm an AP’s fingerprint on an WSS switch, use the following command:

set dap num fingerprint hex

where hex is 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.

The following example sets the fingerprint for Distributed AP 8:

23x0# set dap 8 fingerprint b4:f9:2a:52:37:58:f4:d0:10:75:43:2f:45:c9:52:c3

success: change accepted.

Setting the AP Security Requirement on an WSS Switch

You can configure the WSS to require all Distributed APs to have encryption keys. In this case, the WSS does not establish a management session with a Distributed AP unless the AP has a key, and you have confirmed the key’s fingerprint in WSS Software.

Note. A change to AP security support does not affect management sessions that are already established. To apply the new setting to an AP, restart the AP.

To configure AP security requirements, use the following command:

set dap security {require optional}

The following command configures an WSS to require Distributed APs to have encryption keys:

23x0# set dap security require
