Applying the Credentials Profile to an SSID Used For the Uplink
If you have a repeater access point in your wireless network and are using the 802.1X supplicant on the
root access point, you must apply the 802.1X supplicant credentials to the SSID the repeater uses to
associate with and authenticate to the root access point.
Beginning in the privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to apply the credentials to an SSID used for
the uplink:
configure terminal Enter g
lobal configuration mode.
interface gigabitethernet 0 Enter the inte
rface configuration mode for the access point
Gigabit Ethernet port.
