WPA2 on 1231 vs 1240

[jorge.s]

I'm having a problem configuring WPA2 on a Cisco 1231 Access Point, where I see a command which I cannot do on this one, which I could do on 1240 AP's.

On the 1240 I've the following config of the SSID:

vlan 60

authentication open eap eap_methods

authentication key-management wpa version 2

guest-mode

mbssid guest-mode

but on the 1231 I cannot do the "authentication key-management wpa version 2", so I have it like:

vlan 110

authentication open eap eap_methods

authentication key-management wpa

guest-mode

mbssid guest-mode

Since I'm having problems with connecting, what can be the solution?

The working one is running:

c1240-k9w7-mx.124-10b.JA

and non working:

c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEA

Hi Jorge,

You may be running into one of these reasons why the 1231 isn't supporting WPA2;

Q. What Cisco Aironet access points support WPA2 and AES?

A. The following Cisco Aironet autonomous and lightweight access points support WPA2 and AES: Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series, 1230AG Series, 1130AG Series and 1000 Series access points. Cisco Aironet 1100 Series, 1200 Series and 1300 Series 802.11g radios support WPA2 with a Cisco IOS Software upgrade via Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(2)JA or later.

Q. Which Cisco Aironet 1200 Series 802.11a radio modules support WPA2 and AES?

A. Cisco Aironet 1200 Series radio modules with the part numbers AIR-RM21A or AIR-RM22A support WPA2 and AES. The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series radio module with the part number AIR-RM20A does not support WPA2 or AES.

Q. Which Cisco Aironet 802.11b access points support WPA2 and AES?

A. Cisco Aironet 802.11b access points are not upgradeable to support WPA2 and AES.
