Not able to configure WPA2 on AP 1231 with latest ios

alexc2010 · ‎08-13-2010

Hi All,
I am facing issue configuring wpa2 on the AP. My AP is 1231G with AIR-MP21G Radio.
When i try to configure I get the error as Invalid input detected.

1231GAP(Config-ssid)#authentication key-management wpa2

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

I am running latest IOS 12.3(8)JA2 on the AP.

Kindly let me know why am I not able to configure.

Any help on this would be appriciated.

Thanks

Alex

Command syntax should be authentication key-management version 2

Hi Alex,

Like Stephen wrote, the correct sintaxe is

authentication key-management {[wpa version] [cckm]} [optional]

Example:

"authentication key-management wpa version 2"

You can check it on the command reference guide:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_10b_JA/command/reference/cr12410b-chap2.html#wp2484789.

Hello, I am having the same problem. I came accross the following link that will explain

why you can not connect to the AP point with the 2.4 Ghz system. You will need to upgrade to the

5 Ghz system. I have tried a lot of different settings on the AP points to try and make them work

and all without success to get them to work.

Look at the link and check it out.

Hi,

I guess the command "authentication key-management version 2" doesnt exist on 12.3(8)J release.. the catch here is.. when we configure the AES CCM as the encryption under the radio interface, the WPA 2 will be used.. i mean the command will be..

dot11 ssis WPA

auth open

auth key-man wpa

wpa-psk ascii

end

int dot11 0

encryption mode ciphers aes tkip

With the above configuration, the AP will support WPA2+AES (but never WPA+AES), WPA+TKIP and WPA2+TKIP.

From the 12.4 onwards we have the option of selecting the version 2 that is..

auth key-man wpa version 2 (12.4()J onwards)

lemme know if this answered your question..

Regards
Surendra
