Verifying an AP’s fingerprint on a WSS
To verify an AP’s fingerprint, find the fingerprint and use the set ap fingerprint command to enter the finger-
print in WSS Software.
Finding the fingerprint
An AP’s fingerprint is listed on a label on the back of the AP. (See “Encryption key fingerprint” on page 302.)
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
