Aironet 2600 WPA PSK

Dalgrim001 — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 08:18:12 GMT

I'm trying to configure a new Aironet2600 wireless access point with the web configuration utility. I only need a simple single SSID, no VLANs, and want to use WPA/WPA2 PSK security. Is there a way to configure the device this way in the web config? If not is there a basic config walkthru to use the IOS CLI? I have a basic understanding of CLI but it has been years since I've used it.

Hi Brian,

It is easy to give you config example to do this via CLI.

If you configure your AP like below & connect it to a home DSL modem/router where DHCP already defined on it you should be able to get wireless user get connected on this SSID.

If you are connecting this to Cisco switch, then you need to configure DHCP pool on that switch (for vlan 1) & then connect this AP to a default switchport (should be on vlan 1).

hostname

dot11 ssid

authentication open

authentication key-management wpa version 2

guest-mode

wpa-psk ascii

interface Dot11Radio0

encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm

ssid

no shutdown

interface Dot11Radio1

encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm

ssid

no shutdown

interface BVI1

ip address dhcp

If you need any further assistance let us know.

Thankyou for the response! I've got the device working now.

How would I enable wpa1/tkip along with wpa2/aes with preshared key?

I'd guess that under each interface dot11radio(0 and 1) I'd use encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm tkip

But what do I have to change in the dot11 ssid section?

Keep in mind, if you want to get 802.11n speeds (anything above 54Mbps), you have to use WPA2/AES (or open authentication). So I would stick with WPA2/AES, unless it is really necessary to have WPA/TKIP (if your clients are not supporting WPA2/AES)
