204 Configuring User Encryption
320657-A
To enable or disable cipher suites, use the following commands:
set service-profile name cipher-ccmp {enable | disable}
set service-profile name cipher-tkip {enable | disable}
set service-profile name cipher-wep104 {enable | disable}
set service-profile name cipher-wep40 {enable | disable}
To enable the 40-bit WEP cipher suite in service profile wpa, type the following command:
23x0# set service-profile wpa cipher-wep40 enable
success: change accepted.
After you type this command, the service profile supports TKIP and 40-bit WEP.
Changing the TKIP Countermeasures Timer Value
By default, WSS Software enforces TKIP countermeasures for 60,000 ms (60 seconds) after a second MIC failure within
a one-minute interval. To change the countermeasures timer value, use the following command:
set service-profile name tkip-mc-time wait-time
To change the countermeasures wait time in service profile wpa to 30 seconds, type the following command:
23x0# set service-profile wpa tkip-mc-time 30000
success: change accepted.
Enabling PSK Authentication
By default, WPA uses 802.1X dynamic keying. If you plan to use static keys, you must enable PSK authentication and
configure a passphrase or the raw key. You can configure the passphrase or key globally. You also can configure keys on
an individual MAC client basis.
By default, 802.1X authentication remains enabled when you enable PSK authentication.
Caution! AES (CCMP) encryption is not supported on models AP-101 and AP-122.
Do not attempt to enable CCMP in a service profile that is mapped to a radio profile that
contains AP model AP-101 or AP-122. Otherwise, the WSS switch’s configuration file can
be lost the next time the software is restarted. If your network contains model AP-101 or
AP-122 APs, create a separate service profile for the other AP models that will run CCMP
and enable CCMP only in that profile.
Note. Microsoft Windows XP does not support WEP with WPA. To configure a service
profile to provide WEP for XP clients, leave WPA disabled and see “Configuring WEP” on
page 209.
