D-Link Unified Access Point Administrator’s Guide Using the CLI to Configure 802.1X Authentication Information Table 10 shows the commands you can use to configure 802.1X supplicant information by using the CLI. Table 10. CLI Commands for the 802.1X Supplicant Action Command View 802.1X supplicant settings get dot1x-supplicant Enable 802.1X supplicant set dot1x-supplicant status up Disable 802.1X supplicant set dot1x-supplicant status down Set the 802.1X user name set dot1x-supplicant user Set the 802.1X password set dot1x-supplicant password In the following example, the administrator enables the 802.1X supplicant and sets the user name to wlanAP and the password to test1234. DLINK-WLAN-AP# set dot1x-supplicant status up DLINK-WLAN-AP# set dot1x-supplicant user wlanAP DLINK-WLAN-AP# set dot1x-supplicant password test1234 DLINK-WLAN-AP# get dot1x-supplicant Property Value ---------------status up user wlanAP Verifying the Installation Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with the network. Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and fine-tune the AP by modifying advanced configuration features. 1. Connect the access point to the LAN If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients. If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point, do the following procedures: A. Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point. B. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN. C. Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card. 2. Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients. Test the access point by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about requirements for these clients, see “Wireless Client Requirements” on page 22 in the Preparing to Install the Access Point chapter. 3. Secure and configure the access point by using advanced features. 36 © 2001-2008 D-Link Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
3 Installing the Access Point Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers of security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and configure performance settings. NOTE: The Unified Access Point is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If more than one administrator is logged on to the Administration Web pages and making changes to the configuration, there is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied. By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access your LAN. An important next step is to configure security, as described in “Configuring Virtual Access Point Security” on page 43. Verifying the Installation 37
