Configuring Authentication Types Chapter 10 Configuring Authentication Types Step 4 Command authentication open [eap list-name] Step 5 authentication shared [eap list-name] Purpose (Optional) Set the authentication type to open for this SSID. Open authentication allows any bridge to authenticate and then attempt to communicate with the bridge. • (Optional) Set the SSID's authentication type to open with EAP authentication. The bridge forces all other bridges to perform EAP authentication before they are allowed to join the network. For list-name, specify the authentication method list. Note A bridge configured for EAP authentication forces all bridges that associate to perform EAP authentication. Bridges that do not use EAP cannot communicate with the bridge. (Optional) Set the authentication type for the SSID to shared key. Note Because of shared key's security flaws, Cisco recommends that you avoid using it. Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 • (Optional) Set the SSID's authentication type to shared key with EAP authentication. For list-name, specify the authentication method list. authentication network-eap list-name (Optional) Set the authentication type for the SSID to Network-EAP. Using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, the bridge helps a non-root bridge and the RADIUS server to perform mutual authentication and derive a dynamic unicast WEP key. However, the bridge does not force all non-root bridges to perform EAP authentication. end Return to privileged EXEC mode. copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file. Use the no form of the SSID commands to disable the SSID or to disable SSID features. This example sets the authentication type for the SSID bridgeman to open with EAP authentication. Bridges using the bridgeman SSID attempt EAP authentication using a server named adam. bridge# configure terminal bridge(config)# configure interface dot11radio 0 bridge(config-if)# ssid bridgeman bridge(config-ssid)# authentication open eap adam bridge(config-ssid)# end The configuration on non-root bridges associated to this bridge would also contain these commands: bridge(config)# configure interface dot11radio 0 bridge(config-if)# ssid bridgeman bridge(config-ssid)# authentication client username bridge7 password catch22 10-6 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide OL-4059-01
