Enabling Psk Authentication - D-Link DWS-1008 - AirPremier MobileLAN Switch Product Manual

By default, WPA uses 802.1X dynamic keying. If you plan to use static keys, you must enable PSK
authentication and configure a passphrase or the raw key. You can configure the passphrase or key
globally. You also can configure keys on an individual MAC client basis.
By default, 802.1X authentication remains enabled when you enable PSK authentication.
To enable PSK authentication, use the following command:
set service-profile name auth-psk {enable | disable}
To enable PSK authentication in service profile wpa, type the following command:
DWS-1008# set service-profile wpa auth-psk enable
success: change accepted.
Configuring a Global PSK Passphrase or Raw Key for All Clients To configure a global passphrase for
all WPA clients, use the following command:
set service-profile name psk-phrase passphrase
The passphrase must be from 8 to 63 characters long, including blanks. If you use blanks, you must
enclose the string in quotation marks.
To configure service profile wpa to use passphrase 1234567890123<> ?=+ &% The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy sl, type the following command:
DWS-1008# set service-profile wpa psk-phrase "1234567890123<>?=+&% The quick
brown fox jumps over the lazy sl"
success: change accepted.
As an alternative to entering a passphrase, which MSS converts into a key, you can enter the key itself
in raw hexadecimal format. To enter a PSK key in raw format, use the following command:
set service-profile name psk-raw hex
For hex, type a 64-bit ASCII string representing a 32-digit hexadecimal number. Enter the two-character
ASCII form of each hexadecimal number.
Examples:
To configure service profile wpa to use a raw PSK with PSK clients, type a command such as the
following:
DWS-1008# set service-profile wpa psk-raw c25d3fe4483e867d1df96eaacdf8b02451fa0
836162e758100f5f6b87965e59d
success: change accepted.
