Configuring AP-to-Switch Authentication Information
You can configure a pass phrase on the AP and on the switch so that only authenticated APs
can associate with the switch. If you do enable AP authentication on the WCS, you must
connect to the access point CLI and configure a pass phrase. This pass phrase must be the
same as the one you configure on the WCS.
To configure the pass phrase on the AP, use the following command:
set managed-ap pass-phrase <phrase>
The pass phrase can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
For example, the following command sets the AP-to-WCS authentication pass phrase to
test1234.
WLAN-AP# set managed-ap pass-phrase test1234
For more information about AP-to-WCS authentication and how to configure it on the switch,
see “Configuring AP Authentication” on page 71.
Configuring VLAN Information on the Access Point
The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged
VLAN. This means that all traffic, including management traffic, is untagged.
If you want to limit access to the management interface on the access point or if you already
have a management VLAN configured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you can
change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the access point from the AP CLI.
