on the VAP interfaces.
auth This command configures authentication for the VAP interface.
Syntax
auth <open-system | shared-key | wpa | wpa-psk | wpa2 | wpa2-psk | wpa-
wpa2-mixed | wpa-wpa2-psk-mixed>
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 WEP shared key that has been
distributed to all stations.
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.
