Wireless Security Commands
The commands described in this section configure parameters for wireless security
on the 802.11g interface.
auth
This command defines the 802.11 authentication type allowed by the VAP interface.
Syntax
auth <open-system | shared-key | wpa | wpa-psk | wpa2 | wpa2-psk |
wpa-wpa2-mixed | wpa-wpa2-psk-mixed | > <required | supported>
• open-system - Accepts the client without verifying its identity using a
shared key. “Open” authentication means either there is no encryption (if
encryption is disabled) or WEP-only encryption is used (if encryption is
enabled).
• shared-key - Authentication is based on a shared key that has been
distributed to all stations. If encryption is enabled, “shared” authentication
uses WEP-only encryption.
• wpa - Clients using WPA are accepted for authentication.
• wpa-psk - Clients using WPA with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for
authentication.
• wpa2 - Clients using WPA2 are accepted for authentication.
