how to configure WPA2 security on AIR-AP1231G-A-K9

[NORBERTO RIVERAE]

I have some Access Point model AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 with system software version 12.3(8)JED and bootloader version 12.3(2)JA4, I need  change the security to WPA version 2, but this model only have WPA version 1 with TKIP, Could you tell me if I can do an Operative System Upgrade that support WPA version 2, or what can I do to configure this option on my access point.

Thanks

I do not think this AP model supports WPA2/AES. If it supports you should be able to configure it as below using AP CLI.

dot11 ssid xx

authentication key-management wpa version 2

wpa-psk ascii 7 xxxx

!

int d0

encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm

c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEE.tar is the last image ( Released in 2010) available & even if you upgrade to that, I do not think you could able to do this.

Your 1230 requires a radio upgrade kit to support WPA2.  You need AIR-MP21G-X-K9.

Hi

I have one AP with image C1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEE.tar and tray to configure WPA version 2 and shows the follow error:

CHIAPTEST(config)#dot11 ssid LAN3_Test

CHIAPTEST(config-ssid)#   vlan 18

CHIAPTEST(config-ssid)#   auth open

CHIAPTEST(config-ssid)#   auth key-man wpa version 2

Tray with the example that send me and shows the same message

I have other model of AP AIR-SAP 2602, and it shows what version of WPA I need to use

(config-ssid)#auth key-man wpa ?

  cckm      allow CCKM clients

  optional  allow legacy clients

  version   Specify WPA version

Try the commands in this sequence & see.

int d0

encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm

!

dot11 ssid xx

authentication open

authentication key-management wpa version 2

If you still getting error msg, thenWPA2/AES is not supported in this model(1231). As Leo suggested, you can do Radio Kit upgrade if you really wanted to get this done with 1231.

I would simply replace it with another model which support this. If you can go with 2602 it is much better since those support 802.11n (high throughput). Otherwise even AIR-LAP1131AG model should work.(I have tested it)
