Finding the fingerprint
An AP’s fingerprint is listed on a label on the back of the AP. (See “Encryption key fingerprint” (page 241).)
If the AP is already installed and operating, use the show ap status command to display the fingerprint. The
following example shows information for Distributed AP 8, including its fingerprint:
WSS# show ap status 8
ap: 8, IP-addr: 10.2.26.40 (vlan 'default'), AP model: 2330,
manufacturer: Nortel, name: ap08
fingerprint: b4:f9:2a:52:37:58:f4:d0:10:75:43:2f:45:c9:52:c3

The fingerprint is displayed regardless of whether it has been verified in WSS Software.
Verifying a fingerprint on the switch
To verify an AP’s fingerprint on a WSS, use the following command:
set ap num fingerprint hex
where hex is the 16-digit hexadecimal number of the fingerprint. Use a colon between each digit. Make sure
the fingerprint you enter matches the fingerprint used by the AP.
The following example sets the fingerprint for Distributed AP 8:
WSS# set ap 8 fingerprint b4:f9:2a:52:37:58:f4:d0:10:75:43:2f:45:c9:52:c3
success: change accepted.
Note. The show ap config command lists an AP’s fingerprint only if the fingerprint has
been verified in WSS Software. If the fingerprint has not been verified, the fingerprint info in
the command output is blank.
