set ap boot-configuration mesh psk-phrase

AP.

Syntax

set ap apnum boot-configuration mesh psk-phrase passphrase

Defaults

None.

Access

Enabled.

History

Usage

Use this command to configure the preshared key that a Mesh AP uses to authenticate to

a Mesh Portal AP. You must connect the MP to an MX and enter this command to configure the

MP for mesh services prior to deploying the Mesh AP in its final untethered location.

MSS converts the passphrase into a 256-bit binary number for system use and a raw hexadecimal

key to store in the MX configuration. Neither the binary number nor the passphrase is ever

displayed in the configuration. To use PSK authentication, you must enable it and you also must

enable WPA IE or WPA2 IE. .

Examples

The following command configures MP 7 to use passphrase “1234567890123<>?=+&%

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” when authenticating with a Mesh Portal AP

MX# set ap 7 boot-configuration mesh psk-phrase "1234567890123<>?=+&% The quick brown fox

jumps over the lazy dog"

success: change accepted..
