workgroup bridge in cisco unified wireless infrastructure

Hi,

We want to use an 1131 AP with IOS version 12.4-3g as workgroup bridge in a Cisco unified wireless infrastructure. We prefer to use PEAP for authentication and AES for encryption (WPA2). If this is not possible EAP-Fast would be an acceptable alternative for authentication. Can someone tell me if this is possible and if so explain me how I need to configure the Access Point?

Thanks in advance.

Greetz,

Rob.

The workgroup bridge must be configured as a client. This is off the top of my head, but should get you pointed in the right direction:

!

dot11 ssid my_wifi

authent open

authent network-eap 192.168.1.10

authent client usern MYAUTHUSERNAMEHERE password 0 MYPASSWORDHERE

infra

!

int D0

encryp key 1 size 12 0 MY26DIGITWEPKEYHERE transmit-key

encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm tkip wep128

ssid my_wifi

station-role workgroup-bridge

!

I believe the WEP key is still required

Later,

Go0se

In the configuration guide of version 4.1 I see the following:

These features are supported for use with a WGB:

? Guest N+1 redundancy

? Local EAP

? These features are not supported for use with a WGB:

? Cisco Centralized Key Management (CCKM)

? Hybrid REAP

? Idle timeout

? Web authentication

IS PEAP for authentication and AES for encryption supported in the unified infrastructure?

Greetz, Rob

Rob,

Unified Wireless does support PEAP combined with AES encryption.

If You however have to connect a WorkGroupBridge please keep in mind that LEAP, EAP-FAST and EAP-TLS are the only EAP authentication types supported.

You may have to upgrade to IOS 12.4(3g)JA
