Enable AES encryption on 1310 Wireless bridge

[lerner cisco]

     Hi All,

    I have requirment to enable the AES encryption on the management VLAN  traffic  between connected root and non root bridges . can any one share the configuration guidelines please ??

below is the network setup  .

Router<---->SW1 ( main office)--> Root-bridge < ---------->non root-bride------SW2 ( remote end site)

Apart from the specific configuration on the wireless bridge is any extra configuration required on the Switch interfaces??

Regards

Hello,

1. Make sure you are running version 12.3(7)JA or later since WPA2/AES was not always available for the 1310.

2. How do you currently have the root/non-root configured?

Ideally, adding AES shoudl be fairly straight forward.  Keep in mind we recommend using WPA2 with AES.

configured on your root AND non-root:

dot11 ssid

authentication open

authentication key-management wpa version 2

interface do1

encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
