Chapter 4 - System Configuration 4.1 Introduction Before continuing with advanced configuration, first complete the initial configuration steps described in Chapter 3 to set up an IP address for the Access Point (AP) unit. The AP unit can be managed by any computer using a web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape 6.2 or above). Enter the configured IP address of the AP unit, or use the default address: http://192.168.1.1.
Advanced Configuration 4.2 Advanced Configuration The Advanced Configuration pages include the following options.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration NOTE This chapter may include references to features that are not applicable to the current release such as Radio A, WDS Settings and RSSI. 4.2.1 System Identification The system name can be left with the default setting. However, modifying this parameter enables you to easily identify different devices in your network. Figure 4-2: Identification System Name – An alias for the AP, enabling the device to be uniquely identified on the network.
Advanced Configuration 4.2.1.0.1 CLI Commands for System Identification Enter the global configuration mode, and use the system name command to specify a new system name. Return to the Exec mode, and use the show system command to display the changes to the system identification settings. Enterprise AP#config Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration By default, the AP is automatically configured with IP settings from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. However, if you are not using a DHCP server to configure IP addressing, use the CLI to manually configure the initial IP values (see page 36). Once you have network access to the AP, you can use the web browser interface to modify the initial IP configuration, if necessary.
Advanced Configuration Default Gateway: The default gateway is the IP address of the router for the AP, which is used if the requested destination address is not on the local subnet. If you have management stations, DNS, RADIUS, or other network servers located on another subnet, type the IP address of the default gateway router in the text field provided. Otherwise, leave the address as all zeros (0.0.0.0). Primary and Secondary DNS Address: The IP address of Domain Name Servers on the network.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration 4.2.3 RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication protocol that uses software running on a central server to control access to RADIUS-aware devices on the network. An authentication server contains a database of user credentials for each user that requires access to the network. A primary RADIUS server must be specified for the AP to implement IEEE 802.1X network access control and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) wireless security.
Advanced Configuration Figure 4-4: RADIUS MAC Address Format – MAC addresses can be specified in one of four formats, using no delimiter, with a single dash delimiter, with multiple dash delimiters, and with multiple colon delimiters. VLAN ID Format – A VLAN ID (a number between 1 and 4094) can be assigned to each client after successful authentication using IEEE 802.1X and a central RADIUS server.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration each user authorized to access the network. VLAN IDs can be entered as hexadecimal numbers or as ASCII strings. Primary Radius Server Setup – Configure the following settings to use RADIUS authentication on the AP. Radius Status: Enabling Radius Status allows the settings of RADIUS authentication. (Default: Enable) IP Address: Specifies the IP address or host name of the RADIUS server. Port: The UDP port number used by the RADIUS server for authentication messages.
Advanced Configuration 4.2.3.0.1 CLI Commands for RADIUS From the global configuration mode, use the radius-server address command to specify the address of the primary or secondary RADIUS servers. (The following example configures the settings for the primary RADIUS server.) Configure the other parameters for the RADIUS server. Then use the show radius command from the Exec mode to display the current settings for the primary and secondary RADIUS servers.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration SSH client software needs to be installed on the management station to access the AP for management via the SSH protocol. NOTE The AP supports only SSH version 2.0. After boot up, the SSH server needs about two minutes to generate host encryption keys. The SSH server is disabled while the keys are being generated. Figure 4-5: SSH Settings 4.2.4.1 SSH Settings Telnet Server Status – Enables or disables the Telnet server.
Advanced Configuration 4.2.5 Authentication Wireless clients can be authenticated for network access by checking their MAC address against the local database configured on the AP, or by using a database configured on a central RADIUS server. Alternatively, authentication can be implemented using the IEEE 802.1X network access control protocol.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration Figure 4-6: Authentication MAC Authentication – You can configure a list of the MAC addresses for wireless clients that are authorized to access the network. This provides a basic level of authentication for wireless clients attempting to gain access to the network. A database of authorized MAC addresses can be stored locally on the AP or remotely on a central RADIUS server. (Default: Disabled) Disabled: No checks are performed on an associating station’s MAC address.
Advanced Configuration NOTE MAC addresses on the RADIUS server can be entered in four different formats (see “RADIUS” on page 48). 802.1X Supplicant – The AP can also operate in a 802.1X supplicant mode. This enables the access point itself to be authenticated with a RADIUS server using a configured MD5 user name and password. This prevents rogue APs from gaining access to the network. Local MAC Authentication – Configures the local MAC authentication database.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration addresses in the local table using the address filter entry command. To remove an entry from the table, use the address filter delete command. To display the current settings, use the show authentication command from the Exec mode.
Advanced Configuration following example). To display the current settings, use the show authentication command from the Exec mode.

Chapter 4 - System Configuration Figure 4-7: Filter Control Inter Client STAs Communication Filter – Sets the global mode for wireless-to-wireless communications between clients associated to Virtual AP (VAP) interfaces on the AP. (Default: Disabled) Disabled: All clients can communicate with each other through the access point. Prevent Intra VAP client communication: When enabled, clients associated with a specific VAP interface cannot establish wireless communications with each other.
Advanced Configuration Disabled: Allows management access from wireless clients. Enabled: Blocks management access from wireless clients. Uplink Port MAC Address Filtering Status – Prevents traffic with specified source MAC addresses from being forwarded to wireless clients through the AP. You can add a maximum of four MAC addresses to the filter table. (Default: Disabled) MAC Address: Specifies a MAC address to filter, in the form xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration the table, use the address filter delete command. To display the current settings, use the show filters command from the Exec mode.
Advanced Configuration network must also be tagged with one of these known VLAN IDs. Received traffic that has an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN tag is dropped. When VLAN support is disabled, the AP does not tag traffic passed to the wired network and ignores the VLAN tags on any received frames. NOTE Before enabling VLAN tagging on the AP, be sure to configure the backhaul system to support tagged VLAN frames from the AP’s management VLAN ID, default VLAN IDs, and other client VLAN IDs.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration NOTE The specific configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to the documentation provided with the RADIUS server software. Figure 4-8: VLAN Configuration VLAN Classification – Enables or disables VLAN tagging support on the AP. Native VLAN ID – The VLAN ID that traffic must have to be able to manage the AP. (Range 1-4094; Default: 1) 4.2.8 WDS Settings WDS Settings is not applicable for the current release. 4.2.
Advanced Configuration Figure 4-9: AP Management UI Management – Enables or disables management access through Telnet, the Web (HTTP), or SNMP interfaces. (Default: Enabled) NOTE Secure Web (HTTPS) connections are not affected by the UI Management or IP Management settings. IP Management – Restricts management access to Telnet, Web, and SNMP interfaces to specified IP addresses. (Default: Any IP) Any IP: Indicates that any IP address is allowed management access.

Radio Interface 4.4 Radio Interface The 802.11g interface includes configuration options for radio signal characteristics and wireless security features. The configuration options are nearly identical, and are therefore both covered in this section of the manual. NOTE 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b. The 802.11g interface is configured independently under the Radio Interface G: 802.11b/g web pages. The radio supports up to four virtual AP (VAP) interfaces numbered 0 to 3.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration NOTE You must first enable VAP interface 0 before the other interfaces can be enabled. For information on configuring 802.11g settings, refer to the following sections: “Configuring VAP Radio Settings” on page 82 “Configuring Rogue AP Detection” on page 84 “Configuring WiFi Multimedia” on page 92 4.4.1.1 Configuring VAP Radio Settings To configure VAP radio settings, select the Radio Settings page.

(Default:id=0x0000, module=NA) NOTE The Antenna ID must be selected in conjunction with the Antenna Control Method to configure proper use of any of the antenna options. Antenna Control Method - Selects the use of two antennas operating in diversity mode or a single antenna.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration 802.11b+g: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point (up to 54 Mbps). 802.11b only: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point, but 802.11g clients can only transfer data at 802.11b standard rates (up to 11 Mbps). 802.11g only: Only 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point (up to 54 Mbps). Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to automatically select an unoccupied radio channel.
Radio Interface Multicast Data Rate – The maximum data rate at which the access point transmits multicast and broadcast packets on the wireless interface. (Options: 24, 12, 6 Mbps; Default: 6 Mbps) Fragmentation Length – Configures the minimum packet size that can be fragmented when passing through the access point. Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size.

Radio Interface Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism is required to prioritize traffic types and provide an “enhanced opportunity” wireless access method. The access point implements QoS using the WiFi Multimedia (WMM) standard. Using WMM, the access point is able to prioritize traffic and optimize performance when multiple applications compete for wireless network bandwidth at the same time. WMM employs techniques that are a subset of the developing IEEE 802.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration opportunity. Then the same collision resolution mechanism is used externally to determine which device has access to the wireless medium.
Radio Interface Figure 4-22: WMM Configuration Settings WMM – Sets the WMM operational mode on the AP. When enabled, the parameters for each AC queue will be employed on the access point and QoS capabilities are advertised to WMM-enabled clients. (Default: Support) Disable: WMM is disabled. Support: WMM will be used for any associated device that supports this feature. Devices that do not support this feature may still associate with the access point.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration WMM AP Parameters – These parameters apply to the access point. logCWMin (Minimum Contention Window) – The initial upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The initial wait time is a random value between zero and the CWMin value. Specify the CWMin value in the range 0-15 microseconds. Note that the CWMin value must be equal or less than the CWMax value.

Chapter 4 - System Configuration After you have configured the radio settings, select Security under Radio G, set an SSID to identify the wireless network service provided by each VAP you want to use, and then click Apply to save your settings. Before enabling the radio service for any VAP, first configure the WEP, WPA, and 802.1X security settings described in the following sections.
Radio Interface point. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network. WEP is the security protocol initially specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless communications. Unfortunately, WEP has been found to be seriously flawed and cannot be recommended for a high level of network security.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration Alphanumeric: Enter keys as 5 alphanumeric characters for 64 bit keys, 13 alphanumeric characters for 128 bit keys, or 16 alphanumeric characters for 152 bit keys. Key Number – Selects the key number to use for encryption for each VAP interface. If the clients have all four keys configured to the same values, you can change the encryption key to any of the four settings without having to update the client keys.
Radio Interface Open System: If you don’t set up any other security mechanism on the access point, the network has no protection and is open to all users. This is the default setting. Shared Key: Sets the access point to use WEP shared keys. If this option is selected, you must configure at least one key on the access point and all clients. NOTE To use 802.1X on wireless clients requires a network card driver and 802.1X client software that supports the EAP authentication type that you want to use.

Radio Interface packet encryption and key management as WPA in the enterprise, providing a robust and manageable alternative for small networks. Mixed WPA and WEP Client Support: WPA enables the access point to indicate its supported encryption and authentication mechanisms to clients using its beacon signal. WPA-compatible clients can likewise respond to indicate their WPA support. This enables the access point to determine which clients are using WPA security and which are using legacy WEP.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration Key Caching: WPA2 provides fast roaming for authenticated clients by retaining keys and other security information in a cache, so that if a client roams away from an access point and then returns, re-authentication is not required. When a WPA2 client is first authenticated, it receives a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) that is used to generate other keys for unicast data encryption.
Radio Interface Figure 4-26: Security - WPA Configuration The WPA configuration parameters are described below: Encryption – You must enable data encryption in order to enable all types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the access point. Pre-Authentication – When using WPA2 over 802.1X, pre-authentication can be enabled, which allows clients to roam to a new access point and be quickly associated without performing full 802.1X authentication.
Chapter 4 - System Configuration WPA-PSK: Clients using WPA with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication. WPA2: Clients using WPA2 over 802.1X are accepted for authentication. WPA2-PSK: Clients using WPA2 with a Pre-shared Key are accepted for authentication. WPA-WPA2-mixed: Clients using WPA or WPA2 over 802.1X are accepted for authentication.

Syntax pmksa-lifetime minutes - The time for aging out PMKSA information.
Wireless Security Commands Default Setting Disabled Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless-VAP) Command Usage • Each time a client roams to another AP it has to be fully re-authenticated. This authentication process is time consuming and can disrupt applications running over the network. WPA2 includes a mechanism, known as pre-authentication, that allows clients to roam to a new AP and be quickly associated.
Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface 5.21 Link Integrity Commands The AP provides a link integrity feature that can be used to ensure that wireless clients are connected to resources on the wired network. The AP does this by periodically sending Ping messages to a host device in the wired Ethernet network. If the AP detects that the connection to the host has failed, it disables the radio interfaces, forcing clients to find and associate with another AP.
Link Integrity Commands Example Enterprise AP(config)#link-integrity ping-detect Enterprise AP(config)# 5.21.2 link-integrity ping-host This command configures the link host name or IP address. Use the no form to remove the host setting. Syntax link-integrity ping-host no link-integrity ping-host • host_name - Alias of the host. • ip_address - IP address of the host. Default Setting None Command Mode Global Configuration Example Enterprise AP(config)#link-integrity ping-host 192.
Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface Default Setting 6 Command Mode Global Configuration Example Enterprise AP(config)#link-integrity ping-fail-retry 10 Enterprise AP(config)# 5.21.5 link-integrity ethernet-detect This command enables an integrity check to determine whether or not the AP is connected to the wired Ethernet.
IAPP Commands 5.22 IAPP Commands The command described in this section enables the protocol signaling required to ensure the successful handover of wireless clients roaming between different 802.11f-compliant APs. In other words, the 802.11f protocol can ensure successful roaming between APs in a multi-vendor environment. 5.22.1 iapp This command enables the protocol signaling required to hand over wireless clients roaming between different 802.11f-compliant APs. Use the no form to disable 802.
Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface 5.23 VLAN Commands The AP can enable the support of VLAN-tagged traffic passing between wireless clients and the wired network. Up to 64 VLAN IDs can be mapped to specific wireless clients, allowing users to remain within the same VLAN as they move around a campus site. When VLAN is enabled on the AP, a VLAN ID (a number between 1 and 4094) can be assigned to each client after successful authentication using IEEE 802.1X and a central RADIUS server.
VLAN Commands • Traffic entering the Ethernet port must be tagged with a VLAN ID that matches the AP’s native VLAN ID, or with a VLAN tag that matches one of the wireless clients currently associated with the AP. Example Enterprise AP(config)#vlan enable Reboot system now? : y Related Commands management-vlanid (page 243) 5.23.2 management-vlanid This command configures the management VLAN ID for the AP. Syntax management-vlanid vlan-id - Management VLAN ID.
Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface VLAN ID for the VAP interface. If IEEE 802.1X is being used to authenticate wireless clients, specific VLAN IDs can be configured on the RADIUS server to be assigned to each client. Using IEEE 802.1X and a central RADIUS server, up to 64 VLAN IDs can be mapped to specific wireless clients. • If the VLAN ID has not been configured for a client on the RADIUS server, then the frames are tagged with the default VLAN ID of the VAP interface.
WMM Commands 5.24 WMM Commands The AP implements QoS using the WiFi Multimedia (WMM) standard. Using WMM, the AP is able to prioritize traffic and optimize performance when multiple applications compete for wireless network bandwidth at the same time. WMM employs techniques that are a subset of the developing IEEE 802.11e QoS standard and it enables the AP to inter-operate with both WMM- enabled clients and other devices that may lack any WMM functionality.
Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface Syntax wmm-acknowledge-policy • ac_number - Access categories. (Range: 0-3) • ack - Require the sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver. • noack - Does not require the sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver. Default ack Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless) Command Usage • WMM defines four access categories (ACs) – voice, video, best effort, and background.
WMM Commands high data-rate traffic. (Range: 0-65535 microseconds) • admission_control - The admission control mode for the access category. When enabled, clients are blocked from using the access category.
