8. Get Current Security Settings After Re-Configuring to WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS)

1. Set the Security Mode

USR5453-AP#set interface wlan0 security wpa-enterprise

2. Set the WPA Versions

Select the WPA version based on what types of client stations you want to support.

WPA Option

Example

 

 

WPA: If all client stations on the

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-allowed on

network support the original

 

WPA but none support the

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa2-allowed off

newer WPA2, then use WPA.

 

To support WPA clients:

 

 

 

WPA2: If all client stations on the

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-allowed off

network support WPA2, we

 

suggest using WPA2 which

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa2-allowed on

provides the best security per

 

the IEEE 802.11i standard.

 

To support WPA2 clients:

 

 

 

Both: If you have a mix of

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-allowed on

clients, some of which support

 

WPA2 and others which

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa2-allowed on

support only the original WPA,

 

select "Both". This lets both

 

WPA and WPA2 client stations

 

assoicate and authenticate, but

 

uses the more robust WPA2 for

 

clients who support it. This

 

WPA configuration allows more

 

interoperability, at the expense

 

of some security.

 

To support both WPA and

 

WPA2 clients:

 

 

 

In this example, you will set the access point to support WPA client stations only:

USR5453-AP#set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-allowed on

USR5453-AP#set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa2-allowed off
