Configuring Authentication Types Chapter 12
Use the optional keyword to allow client devices by using either open or
EAP authentication to associate and become authenticated. This
setting is used mainly by service providers that require special client
accessibility.
4. (Optional) Set the authentication type for the SSID to shared key.
authentication shared
[mac-address list-name]
[eap list-name]
a. (Optional) Set the SSID’s authentication type to shared key with MAC
address authentication.
For list-name, specify the authentication method list.
b. (Optional) Set the SSID’s authentication type to shared key with EAP
authentication.
For list-name, specify the authentication method list.
5. (Optional) Set the authentication type for the SSID to Network-EAP.
authentication network-eap list-name
[mac-address list-name]
When the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to interact with
an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, the access point helps a wireless
client device and the RADIUS server to perform mutual authentication
and derive a dynamic unicast WEP key. However, the access point does
not force all client devices to perform EAP authentication.
a. (Optional) Set the SSID’s authentication type to Network-EAP with
MAC address authentication.
b. For list-name, specify the authentication method list.
All client devices that associate to the access point are required to
perform MAC-address authentication.
6. (Optional) Set the authentication type for the SSID to WPA, CCKM, or
both.
authentication key-management { [wpa] [cckm] } [
optional ]
If you use the optional keyword, client devices other than WPA and
CCKM clients can use this SSID. If you don’t use the optional keyword,
only WPA or CCKM client devices are allowed to use the SSID.
TIP An access point configured for EAP authentication forces all client devices that
associate to perform EAP authentication. Client devices that don’t use EAP
cannot use the access point.
TIP Because of shared key's security flaws, We recommend that you avoid
using it. You can assign shared key authentication to only one SSID.
