Chapter 5 Administering the Access Point
Configuring the Access Point for Wireless Network Management
The Ethernet speed and duplex are set to auto by default. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow
these steps to configure Ethernet speed and duplex:
Configuring the Access Point for Wireless Network
Management
You can enable the access point for wireless network management. The wireless network manager
(WNM) manages the devices on your wireless LAN.
Enter this command to configure the access point to interact with the WNM:
AP(config)# wlccp wnm ip address ip-address
Enter this command to check the authentication status between the WDS access point and the WNM:
AP# show wlccp wnm status
Possible statuses are not authenticated, authentication in progress, authentication fail, authenticated,
and security keys setup.
Configuring the Access Point for Local Authentication and
Authorization
You can configure AAA to operate without a server by configuring the access point to implement AAA
in local mode. The access point then handles authentication and authorization. No accounting is
available in this configuration.
Note You can configure your access point as a local authenticator for 802.1x-enabled client devices to provide
a backup for your main server or to provide authentication service on a network without a RADIUS
server. See Chapter 8, “Configuring an Access Point as a Local Authenticator,” for detailed instructions
on configuring your access point as a local authenticator.
