1. Set the Security Mode<br />

DLINK-<strong>AP</strong># set interface wlan0 security wpa-enterprise<br />

B CLI for <strong>AP</strong> Configuration<br />

2. Set the WPA versions based on what types of client stations you want to support.<br />

- WPA—If all client stations on the network support the original WPA but none support<br />

the newer WPA2, then use WPA.<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa-allowed on<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa2-allowed off<br />

- WPA2—If all client stations on the network support WPA2, we suggest using WPA2<br />

which provides the best security per the IEEE 802.11i standard.<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa-allowed off<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa2-allowed on<br />

- WPA and WPA2—If you have a mix of clients, some of which support WPA2 and<br />

others which support only the original WPA, select both. This lets both WPA and<br />

WPA2 client stations associate and authenticate, but uses the more robust WPA2 for<br />

clients who support it. This WPA configuration allows more interoperability, at the<br />

expense of some security.<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa2-allowed on<br />

3. Enable Pre-Authentication<br />

If you set WPA versions to “WPA2” or “Both”, you can enable pre-authentication for<br />

WPA2 clients.<br />

Enable pre-authentication if you want WPA2 wireless clients to send pre-authentication<br />

packet. The pre-authentication information will be relayed from the access point the client<br />

is currently using to the target access point. Enabling this feature can help speed up<br />

authentication for roaming clients who connect to multiple access points.<br />

To enable pre-authentication for WPA2 clients, enter the following command:<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 rsn-preauthentication on<br />

To disable pre-authentication for WPA2 clients, enter the following command:<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 rsn-preauthentication on<br />

The pre-authentication option does not apply if you set the WPA Version to support “WPA”<br />

clients because the original WPA does not support this pre-authentication<br />

4. Set the Cipher Suite you want to use.<br />

- TKIP Only: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa-cipher-tkip on<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa-cipher-ccmp off<br />

- CCMP (AES) Only—Counter mode/CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) is an encryption<br />

method for IEEE 802.11i that uses the Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES).<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa-cipher-tkip off<br />

set bss wlan0bssvap0 wpa-cipher-ccmp on<br />

- TKIP and CCMP (AES)—When you enable both authentication algorithms, both<br />

TKIP and AES clients can associate with the access point. WPA clients must have<br />
