Set the Authentication Server. If you do not want to use the global RADIUS server for this VAP, you must disable the global RADIUS server and specify an IP address and RADIUS key for the VAP, as shown in the following commands: DLINK-AP# set bss wlan0bssvap0 radius-ip 10.23.6.13 DLINK-AP# set bss wlan0bssvap0 radius-key thisISmyKey You can enable RADIUS Accounting if you want to track and measure the resources a particular user has consumed such system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on. To enable RADIUS accounting on the VAP, enter the following command: set bss wlan0bssvap0 radius-accounting on 6. View the security settings. Use the "get" command to view the updated security configuration and see the results of the new settings. DLINK-AP# get interface wlan0 security The following command gets details about how the internal network is configured, including security details. DLINK-AP# get bss wlan0bssvap0 detail The following command gets details about the interface and shows the WEP Key settings, specifically. DLINK-AP# get interface wlan0 detail Managed Access Point You can use a D-Link Unified Switch to manage one or more access points on your network. To allow a Unified Switch to manage the AP the switch and AP must discover each other. The commands in Table 40 show how to change the AP mode from Standalone to Managed and how to configure the IP address of a D-Link Unified Switch so that the AP can discover it. You can configure a pass phrase on the AP and on the switch so that only authenticated APs can associate with the switch. Table 40.

either a valid TKIP key or a valid CCMP (AES) key to be able to associate with the

AP.

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa-cipher-tkip on

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa-cipher-ccmp on

Set the Authentication Server.

If you do not want to use the global RADIUS server for this VAP, you must disable the

global RADIUS server and specify an IP address and RADIUS key for the VAP, as shown

in the following commands:

DLINK-AP#

set bss

wlan0bssvap0

radius-ip 10.23.6.13

DLINK-AP#

set bss

wlan0bssvap0

radius-key thisISmyKey

You can enable RADIUS Accounting if you want to track and measure the resources a

particular user has consumed such system time, amount of data transmitted and received,

and so on. To enable RADIUS accounting on the VAP, enter the following command:

set bss wlan0bssvap0 radius-accounting on

View the security settings.

Use the “get” command to view the updated security configuration and see the results of

the new settings.

DLINK-AP#

get interface wlan0 security

The following command gets details about how the internal network is configured,

including security details.

DLINK-AP#

get bss wlan0bssvap0 detail

The following command gets details about the interface and shows the WEP Key settings,

specifically.

DLINK-AP#

get interface wlan0 detail

Managed Access Point

You can use a D-Link Unified Switch to manage one or more access points on your network.

To allow a Unified Switch to manage the AP the switch and AP must discover each other. The

commands in

Table 40

show how to change the AP mode from Standalone to Managed and

how to configure the IP address of a D-Link Unified Switch so that the AP can discover it. You

can configure a pass phrase on the AP and on the switch so that only authenticated APs can

associate with the switch.
