Configuring AP-to-Switch Authentication Information

You can configure a pass phrase on the AP and on the switch so that only authenticated APs can associate with the switch.

If you do enable AP authentication on the Unified Switch, you must connect to the access point CLI and configure a pass

phrase. This pass phrase must be the same as the one you configure on the Unified Switch.

To configure the pass phrase on the AP, use the following command:

set managed-ap pass-phrase <phrase>

The pass phrase can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

For example, the following command sets the AP-to-Unified Switch authentication pass phrase to test1234.

WLAN-AP# set managed-ap pass-phrase test1234

For more information about AP-to-Unified Switch authentication and how to configure it on the switch, see “Configuring AP

Authentication” on page 71.

Configuring VLAN Information on the Access Point

The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. This means that all traffic,

including management traffic, is untagged.

If you want to limit access to the management interface on the access point or if you already have a management VLAN

configured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you can change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the access

point from the AP CLI.
