3. Enable Pre-Authentication

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

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.

USR5453-AP# set bss wlan0bssInternal rsn-preauthentication off

4. Set the Cipher Suites

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

Enable pre-authentication if you want
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:

set bss wlan0bssInternal rsn-preauthentication on

To disable pre-authentication for WPA2 cli-
ents:

set bss wlan0bssInternal rsn-preauthentication on

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
