Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide Section 2 - Getting Started Using the CLI to Configure 802.1X Authentication Information The following table shows the commands used to configure the 802.1X supplicant information using the CLI. Action View 802.1X supplicant settings Enable 802.1X supplicant Disable 802.1X supplicant Set the 802.1X user name Set the 802.1X password Command get dot1x-supplicant set dot1x-supplicant status up set dot1x-supplicant status down set dot1x-supplicant user set dot1x-supplicant password Table 6 - CLI Commands for the 802.1X Supplicant In the following example, the administrator enables the 802.1X supplicant and sets the user name to wlanAP and the password to test1234. DLINK-WLAN-AP# set dot1x-supplicant status up DLINK-WLAN-AP# set dot1x-supplicant user wlanAP DLINK-WLAN-AP# set dot1x-supplicant password test1234 DLINK-WLAN-AP# get dot1x-supplicant Property Value status up user wlanAP eap-method md5 debug off cert-present no cert-exp-date Not Present DLINK-WLAN-AP# Verifying the Installation Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with the network. Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and fine-tune the AP by modifying advanced configuration features. 1.) Connect the access point to the LAN. •) If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients. •) If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point, do the following procedures: •) Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point. •) Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN. •) Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card. 2.) Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients. Test the UAP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about requirements for these clients, see "Wireless Client Requirements" on page 12. 3.) Secure and configure the access point by using advanced features. Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers of security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and configure performance settings. Note: The WLAN AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If more than one administrator is logged onto the Administration Web pages and making changes to the configuration, there is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied. By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access your LAN. An important next step is to configure security, as described in "Virtual Access Point Settings" on page 47. October 2013 Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide Page 20

Verifying the Installation

Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with the network. Once you

have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and ﬁne-tune the AP by modifying

advanced conﬁguration features.

1.)

Connect the access point to the LAN.

•)

If you conﬁgured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your

access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients.

•)

If you conﬁgured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point,

do the following procedures:

•) Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.

•)

Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.

•)

Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card.

2.)

Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients.

Test the UAP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about

requirements for these clients, see

“Wireless Client Requirements” on page 12

3.)

Secure and conﬁgure the access point by using advanced features.

Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers

of security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and conﬁgure performance settings.

Note:

The WLAN AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous conﬁguration changes. If more

than one administrator is logged onto the Administration Web pages and making changes to the

configuration, there is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will

be applied.

By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access

your LAN. An important next step is to conﬁgure security, as described in

“Virtual Access Point Settings” on page
