Chapter 9 Configuring a Wireless LAN Connection Configure the Root Radio Station Step 3 Command encryption method algorithm key Example: Router(config-if)# encryption vlan 1 mode ciphers tkip Router(config-if)# Purpose Specifies the encryption method, algorithm, and key used to access the wireless interface. The example uses the VLAN with optional encryption method of data ciphers. Step 4 ssid name Example: Router(config-if)# ssid cisco Router(config-if-ssid)# Step 5 vlan number Creates a Service Set ID (SSID), the public name of a wireless network. Note All of the wireless devices on a WLAN must employ the same SSID to communicate with each other. Binds the SSID with a VLAN. Example: Router(config-if-ssid)# vlan 1 Router(config-if-ssid)# Step 6 authentication type Example: Router(config-if-ssid)# authentication open Router(config-if-ssid)# authentication network-eap eap_methods Router(config-if-ssid)# authentication key-management wpa Sets the permitted authentication methods for a user attempting access to the wireless LAN. More than one method can be specified, as shown in the example. Step 7 exit Example: Router(config-if-ssid)# exit Router(config-if)# Exits SSID configuration mode, and enters interface configuration mode for the radio interface. Step 8 speed rate Example: Router(config-if)# basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 Router(config-if)# (Optional) Specifies the required and allowed rates, in Mbps, for traffic over the wireless connection. Step 9 rts [retries | threshold] Example: Router(config-if)# rts threshold 2312 Router(config-if)# (Optional) Specifies the Request to Send (RTS) threshold or the number of times to send a request before determining the wireless LAN is unreachable.
