Configuring a Repeater Access Point

Setting Up a Repeater as a LEAP Client

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 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:

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
Create an SSID and enter SSID configuration mode for the new
SSID. The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
SSIDs are case-sensitive.
Enable LEAP authentication on the repeater so that
LEAP-enabled client devices cxan authenticate through the
repeater. For list-name, specify the name or IP address of the
authentication server.
Configure the username and password that the repeater uses when
it performs LEAP authentication. This username and password
must match the username and password that you set up for the
repeater on the authentication server.
(Optional) Designate the SSID as the SSID that other access
points and workgroup bridges use to associate to this access
point. If you do not designate an SSID as the infrastructure SSID,
infrastructure devices can associate to the access point using any
SSID. If you designate an SSID as the infrastructure SSID,
infrastructure devices must associate to the access point using
that SSID unless you also enter the optional keyword.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
