Command Usage
• To support Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) for client
authentication, use the wpa-clients command to specify
the authentication type, use the wpa-mode command to
specify pre-shared-key mode, and use this command to
configure one static key.
• If WPA is used with pre-shared-key mode, all wireless
clients must be configured with the same pre-shared key to
communicate with the access point.
