USR5453-AP# set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-allowed on
USR5453-AP# set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa2-allowed on

3. Set the Cipher Suites

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

In this example, you will set the cipher suite to

Both

:

USR5453-AP# set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip on
USR5453-AP# set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp on

4. Set the Pre-shared Key

The Pre-shared Key is the shared secret key for WPA-PSK. Enter a string of at least 8 characters to a
maximum of 63 characters. Following are two examples; the first sets the key to "SeCret !", the second

sets the key to "KeepSecret".

Ex 1. USR5453-AP# set interface wlan0 wpa-personal-key "SeCret !"

or

Ex 2. USR5453-AP# set interface wlan0 wpa-personal-key KeepSecret

Cipher Suite Option

Example

TKIP

: Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol (TKIP), which is the
default.

To set the cipher suite to

TKIP

only

:

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip on

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp off

CCMP (AES)

- Counter mode/

CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) is
an encryption method for IEEE
802.11i that uses the Advanced
Encryption Algorithm (AES).

To set the cipher suite to

CCMP

(AES) only

:

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip off

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp on

Both

- When the authentication

algorithm is set to "

Both

", both

TKIP and AES clients can asso-
ciate with the access point.
WPA clients must have either a
valid TKIP key or a valid CCMP
(AES) key to be able to associ-
ate with the AP.

To set the cipher suite to

Both

:

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip on

set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp on
