WPA/WPA2 on Cisco 1042N AP

[suthakar sundaralingam]

Hi Guys,

I need to configure WPA or WPA2 authentication on cisco 1042N access points. But I believe that for this requirement I need to have either an internal or external RADIUS server, but my customer want to just a normal WPA/WPA2 authentication like what we configure on cisco WAP200 or WAP4410 accesspoints, is there any work arounds to configure WPA/WPA2 authentication in a simpler manner rather than configuring RADIUS server option? Please advise.

Regards,

Suthakar

you don't need a RADIUS server to do WPA/WPA2.  RADIUS is only needed if you are looking to do 802.1x for your authentication.

To do WPA2/AES

dot11 ssid TEST

authentication open

authentication wpa version 2

wpa-psk ascii 0 12345678

Interface Dot11Radio0

encryption mode ciphers aes
