Applying the Credentials Profile to an SSID Used for the Uplink

If you have a repeater access point in your wireless network and are using the
802.1X supplicant on the root access point, you must apply the 802.1X
supplicant credentials to the SSID the repeater uses to associate with and
authenticate to the root access point.

Beginning in the privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to apply the
credentials to an SSID used for the uplink:

1. Enter global configuration mode.

configure terminal

2. Enter the 802.11 SSID.

The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. SSIDs are case
sensitive. The first character cannot contain the !, #, or ; character. The characters
+, ], /, ", TAB, and trailing spaces are invalid characters for SSIDs.

dot11 ssid ssid

3. Enter the name of a preconfigured credentials profile.

dot1x credentials profile

4. Exits the dot1x credentials configuration submode

end

5. Save your entries in the configuration file. This is optional.

copy running config startup-config

The following example applies the credentials profile test to the

ssid testap1

on a repeater access point.

Password:xxxxxxx

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End

with CTRL-Z.
