Link Integrity Commands 7

known to be already authenticated, so it proceeds directly to key exchange and association.

To support pre-authentication, both clients and access points in the network must be WPA2 enabled.

Pre-authentication requires all access points in the network to be on the same IP subnet.

Example

Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#wpa-pre-shared-key ASCII agoodsecret

Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#

Link Integrity Commands

The access point provides a link integrity feature that can be used to ensure that wireless clients are connected to resources on the wired network. The access point does this by periodically sending Ping messages to a host device in the wired Ethernet network. If the access point detects that the connection to the host has failed, it disables the radio interfaces, forcing clients to find and associate with another access point. When the connection to the host is restored, the access point re-enables the radio interfaces.

SMC2552W-G2-17, SMC2552W-G2 specifications

The SMC Networks SMC2552W-G2 and SMC2552W-G2-17 are advanced wireless access points designed for a range of networking environments, offering robust features suited to both home and business applications. These devices are known for their reliable performance, making them a popular choice for those seeking to enhance network connectivity and coverage.

One of the primary features of the SMC2552W-G2 is its dual-band capability, operating on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. This versatility allows users to take advantage of the high capacity of the 5 GHz band, which is less congested and ideal for activities that require substantial bandwidth, such as streaming and online gaming. The 2.4 GHz band, on the other hand, provides better penetration through walls and is more suitable for basic browsing and mobile device connectivity.

Another significant characteristic is the device's support for the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, which enables data rates of up to 300 Mbps. This standard ensures a fast and stable wireless connection, facilitating a seamless online experience for multiple devices simultaneously. The integration of MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology further enhances the performance, allowing for multiple data streams to be transmitted and received, significantly increasing throughput and range.

The SMC2552W-G2 series also boasts advanced security features, including WPA/WPA2 encryption and support for 802.1X authentication. These security protocols provide robust protection against unauthorized access and ensure that data transmitted over the network remains secure.

In terms of management, these access points offer both web-based and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) interfaces, enabling users to easily configure and monitor the network settings. This user-friendly interface simplifies the process of overseeing network performance and troubleshooting issues when they arise.

The SMC2552W-G2 and SMC2552W-G2-17 are designed for easy installation, whether as stand-alone units or as part of a larger network. Their compact design allows for flexible mounting options, making them suitable for various environments.

In summary, the SMC Networks SMC2552W-G2 and SMC2552W-G2-17 provide an excellent combination of speed, security, and ease of management, making them ideal solutions for enhancing wireless connectivity in both home and office settings. Their dual-band functionality, compliance with the latest Wi-Fi standards, and comprehensive security measures ensure a reliable and efficient networking experience.
