Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide
• EAP Method—Choose the algorithm to be used for encrypting
authentication user names and passwords. The options are:
- MD5—A hash function defined in RFC 3748 that provides basic security.
- PEAP—Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, which provides a
higher level of security than MD5 by encapsulating it within a TLS tunnel.
- TLS—Transport Layer Security, as defined in RFC 5216, an open
standard that provides a high level of security.
• Username—The WAP device uses this user name when responding to
requests from an 802.1X authenticator. The user name can be 1 to 64
characters long. ASCII-printable characters are allowed, which includes
uppercase and lowercase alphabetic letters, numeric digits, and all special
characters except quotation marks.
• Password—The WAP device uses this MD5 password when responding to
requests from an 802.1X authenticator. The password can be 1 to 64
characters in length. ASCII-printable characters are allowed, which includes
uppercase and lowercase alphabetic letters, numeric digits, and all special
characters except quotation marks.
In the Certificate File Upload area, you can upload a certificate file to the WAP
device:
a. Choose either HTTP or TFTP as the Transfer Method.
b. If you selected HTTP, click Browse to select the file. See
Service for more information on configuring the HTTP server settings.
c. If you selected TFTP, enter the Filename and the TFTP Server IPv4 Address.
The filename cannot contain the following characters: spaces, <, >, |, \, : , (, ), &, ; ,
#, ? , *, and two or more successive periods.
d. Click Upload. A confirmation window appears, followed by a progress bar to
indicate the status of the upload.
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and
restarted. When this condition happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change the WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity
will least affect your wireless clients.
