Generating Multiple Dynamic Psks - Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector 1100 User Manual

Figure 95. The Dynamic PSK option
NOTE: If you change the dynamic PSK expiration period, the new expiration period will only
be applied to new PSKs. Existing PSKs will retain the expiration period that was in effect when
the PSKs were generated. To force expiration, go to Monitor > Generated PSK/Certs.

Generating Multiple Dynamic PSKs

If you will be generating DPSKs frequently (for example, to configure school-owned laptops in
batch), you may want to generate multiple DPSKs at once and distribute them to your users in
one batch. Before performing this procedure, check your WLAN settings and make sure that
the Dynamic PSK check box is selected.
To generate multiple dynamic PSKs
1. Go to Configure > WLANs.
2. Scroll down to the Dynamic PSK Batch Generation section.
3. In Target WLAN, select one of the existing WLANs with which the users will be allowed to
associate. (Only WLANs with DPSK enabled will be listed.)
4. In Number to Create, select the number of dynamic PSKs that you want to generate.
ZoneDirector will automatically populate the names of each user (BatchDPSK_User_1,
BatchDPSK_User_2, and so on) to generate the dynamic PSKs.
5. If you want to be able to identify the dynamic PSK users by their names (for monitoring or
auditing purposes in a school setting, for example), click Browse, and upload a batch
dynamic PSK profile instead. See
information.
6. Click Generate. ZoneDirector generates the dynamic PSKs, and then the following
message appears:
