Setting Up A Repeater As A Leap Client - Allen-Bradley Stratix 5100 User Manual

Setting Up a Repeater as a
LEAP Client
Configuring Repeater and Standby Access Points and Workgroup Bridge Mode
You can set up a repeater access point to authenticate to your network like other
wireless client devices. After you provide a network username and password for
the repeater access point, it authenticates to your network by using LEAP, Cisco's
wireless authentication method, and receives and uses dynamic WEP keys.
Setting up a repeater as a LEAP client requires three major steps:
1. Create an authentication username and password for the repeater on your
authentication server.
2. Configure LEAP authentication on the root access point to which the
repeater associates.
The access point that the repeater associates with is called the parent access
point.
See Configuring Authentication Types on page 351

TIP
Beginning in Privileged Exec mode, follow these instructions to set up the
repeater as a LEAP client.
1. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2. Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
– The 2.4 GHz radio and the 2.4 GHz 802.11n radio is 0.
– The 5 GHz radio and the 5 GHz 802.11n radio is 1.

3. Create an SSID and enter SSID configuration mode for the new SSID.
The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters, but do not
include spaces. SSIDs are case-sensitive.

4. Enable LEAP authentication on the repeater so that LEAP-enabled client
devices can authenticate through the repeater.
For list-name, specify the list name you want to use for EAP
authentication. You define list names for EAP and for MAC addresses by
using the aaa authentication login command. These lists define the
authentication methods activated when a user logs in and indirectly
identify the location where the authentication information is stored.

On the repeater access point, you must enable the same cipher suite or
WEP encryption method and WEP features that are enabled on the
parent access point.
