The fingerprint is displayed regardless of whether it has been confirmed in WSS Software.
Confirming a Fingerprint on the Switch
To confirm an AP’s fingerprint on an WSS switch, use the following command:
set dap num fingerprint hex
where hex is the 16-digit hexadecimal number of the fingerprint. Use a colon between each digit. Make sure
the fingerprint you enter matches the fingerprint used by the AP.
The following example sets the fingerprint for Distributed AP 8:
23x0# set dap 8 fingerprint b4:f9:2a:52:37:58:f4:d0:10:75:43:2f:45:c9:52:c3
success: change accepted.
Setting the AP Security Requirement on an WSS Switch
You can configure the WSS to require all Distributed APs to have encryption keys. In this case, the WSS does
not establish a management session with a Distributed AP unless the AP has a key, and you have confirmed
the key’s fingerprint in WSS Software.
To configure AP security requirements, use the following command:
set dap security {require | optional}
The following command configures an WSS to require Distributed APs to have encryption keys:
23x0# set dap security require
Note. The show dap config command lists an AP’s fingerprint only if the fingerprint has
been confirmed in WSS Software. If the fingerprint has not been confirmed, the fingerprint
info in the command output is blank.
Note. A change to AP security support does not affect management sessions that are
already established. To apply the new setting to an AP, restart the AP.
