auth

This command defines the 802.11 authentication type allowed by the VAP interface.

Syntax

auth <open-system shared-key wpa wpa-psk wpa2 wpa2-psk wpa-wpa2-mixed wpa-wpa2-psk-mixed > <required supported>

•open-system- Accepts the client without verifying its identity using a shared key. “Open” authentication means either there is no encryption (if encryption is disabled) or WEP-only encryption is used (if encryption is enabled).

•shared-key- Authentication is based on a shared key that has been distributed to all stations. If encryption is enabled, “shared” authentication uses WEP-only encryption.

•wpa - Clients using WPA are accepted for authentication.

•wpa-psk- Clients using WPA with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication.

•wpa2 - Clients using WPA2 are accepted for authentication.
