Enabling WPA with TKIP
The following example shows how to configure WSS Software to provide authentication and TKIP encryption for 801.X
WPA clients. This example assumes that pass-through authentication is used for all users. A RADIUS server group
performs all authentication and authorization for the users.
1
Create an authentication rule that sends all 802.1X users of SSID mycorp in the EXAMPLE domain to the
server group shorebirds for authentication. Type the following command:
23x0# set authentication dot1x ssid mycorp EXAMPLE\* pass-through shorebirds
2
Create a service profile named wpa for the SSID. Type the following command:
23x0# set service-profile wpa
success: change accepted.
3
Set the SSID in the service profile to mycorp. Type the following command:
23x0# set service-profile wpa ssid-name wpa
success: change accepted.
4
Enable WPA in service profile wpa. Type the following command:
23x0# set service-profile wpa wpa-ie enable
success: change accepted.
TKIP is already enabled by default when WPA is enabled.
5
Display the service profile wpa to verify the changes. Type the following command:
23x0# show service-profile wpa

6
Map service profile wpa to radio profile rp1. Type the following commands:
23x0# set radio-profile rp1 service-profile wpa
success: change accepted.
7
Apply radio profile rp1 to radio 1 on port 5 and to radios 1 and 2 on port 11, enable the radios, and verify
the configuration changes. Type the following commands:
23x0# set ap 5,11 radio 1 radio-profile rp1 mode enable
success: change accepted.
23x0# set ap 11 radio 2 radio-profile rp1 mode enable
success: change accepted.
