3. Enable Pre-Authentication

If you set WPA versions to "WPA2" or "Both", you can enable pre-authenticationfor WPA2 clients.

Enable pre-authentication if you want

set bss wlan0bssInternal rsn-preauthentication on

WPA2 wireless clients to send pre-authen-

 

tication packet. The pre-authentication

 

information will be relayed from the

 

access point the client is currently using to

 

the target access point. Enabling this fea-

 

ture can help speed up authentication for

 

roaming clients who connect to multiple

 

access points.

 

To enable pre-authentication for WPA2 cli-

 

ents:

 

 

 

To disable pre-authentication for WPA2 cli-

set bss wlan0bssInternal rsn-preauthentication on

ents:

 

 

 

This option does not apply if you set the WPA Version to support "WPA" clients only because the original WPA does not support this pre-authentication

In this example, you will disable pre-authentication.

4. Set the Cipher Suites

Set the cipher suite you want to use. The options are:

Cipher Suite Option

Example

 

 

TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip on

Protocol (TKIP), which is the

 

default.

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp off

 

To set the cipher suite to TKIP

 

only:

 

 

 

CCMP (AES) - Counter mode/

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip off

CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) is

 

an encryption method for IEEE

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp on

802.11i that uses the Advanced

 

Encryption Algorithm (AES).
