In this example, you will set the cipher suite to

TKIP Only

:

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

5. Set the Authentication Server

You can use the built-in authentication server on the access point or an external RADIUS server.

In this example, you will use an external RADIUS server with an IP address of 142.77.1.1:

USR5453-AP# set bss wlan0bssInternal radius-ip 142.77.1.1

6. Set the RADIUS Key (For External RADIUS Server Only)

If you use an external RADIUS server, you must provide the RADIUS key. (If you use the built-in
authentication server the RADIUS key is automatically provided.)

This command sets the RADIUS key to KeepSecret for an external RADIUS server.

USR5453-AP# set bss wlan0bssInternal radius-key KeepSecret

7. Enable RADIUS Accounting (External RADIUS Server Only)

You can enable RADIUS Accounting if you want to track and measure the resources a particular user has

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

Note

To use the built-in authentication server, set the RADIUS IP address to that used by the built-in server
(127.0.0.1

)

and turn RADIUS accounting off (because it is not supported by the built-in server)

RADIUS Option

Example

To set the AP to use the

Built-in

Authentication Server:

set bss wlan0bssInternal radius-ip 127.0.0.1

To set the AP to use an

External

RADIUS Server:

set bss wlan0bssInternal radius-ip RADIUS_IP_Address

where

RADIUS_IP_Address

is the IP address of an external RADIUS server.
