8. Select a passphrase format from the Passphrase format drop-down list. The following options are
available:
l 8 - 63 alphanumeric characters
l 64 hexadecimal characters
Ensure that the hexadecimal password string is exactly 64 digits in length.
9. Enter a pre-shared key (PSK) passphrase in the Passphrase text box and click OK.
You can view the W-Fi configuration and uplink status in the CLI. To view the configuration status in the CLI:
(Instant AP)# show wifi-uplink status

Uplink Preferences and Switching
This topic describes the following procedures:
l Enforcing Uplinks on page 313
l Setting an Uplink Priority on page 314
l Enabling Uplink Preemption on page 314
l Switching Uplinks Based on VPN and Internet Availability on page 315
l Viewing Uplink Status and Configuration on page 316
Enforcing Uplinks
The following configuration conditions apply to the uplink enforcement:
l When an uplink is enforced, the W-IAP uses the specified uplink regardless of uplink preemption
configuration and the current uplink status.
l When an uplink is enforced and multiple Ethernet ports are configured and uplink is enabled on the wired
profiles, the W-IAP tries to find an alternate Ethernet link based on the priority configured.
l When no uplink is enforced and preemption is not enabled, and if the current uplink fails, the W-IAP tries to
find an available uplink based on the priority configured.
