AP Commands 267
Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Command Line Reference
set ap fingerprint
Verifies an AP’s fingerprint on a WSS. If AP-WSS security is required by a WSS, an AP can establish a management
session with the switch only if you have verified the AP’s identity by verifying its fingerprint on the switch.
Syntax set ap num fingerprint hex
Defaults None.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in WSS Software 4.0.
Option dap removed in 6.0.
Usage APs are configured with an encryption key pair at the factory. The fingerprint for the public key is
displayed on a label on the back of the AP, in the following format:
RSA
aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:
aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa
If an AP is already installed and operating, you can use the show ap status command to display the fingerprint. The
show ap config command lists an AP’s fingerprint only if the fingerprint has been verified in WSS Software. If the
fingerprint has not been verified, the fingerprint information in the command output is blank.
Examples The following example verifies the fingerprint for AP 8:
WSS# set ap 8 fingerprint b4:f9:2a:52:37:58:f4:d0:10:75:43:2f:45:c9:52:c3
success: change accepted.
