Chapter 9 Configuring a Wireless LAN Connection
Configure the Root Radio Station
Configure the Root Radio Station
Perform these steps to create and configure the root radio station for your wireless LAN, beginning in
global configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Step 1
interface name number
Example:
Router(config)# interface dot11radio 0
Router(config-if)#
Enters interface configuration mode for the
specified wireless interface.
Step 2
broadcast-key [[vlan vlan-id] change secs]
[membership-termination] [capability-change]
Example:
Router(config-if)# broadcast-key vlan 1
change 45
Router(config-if)#
Specifies the time interval (in seconds) between
rotations of the broadcast encryption key used
for clients.
Note Client devices using static Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) cannot use
the access point when you enable
broadcast key rotation—only wireless
client devices using 802.1x
authentication (such as Light Extensible
Authentication Protocol [LEAP],
Extensible Authentication
Protocol-Transport Layer Security
[EAP-TLS], or Protected Extensible
Authentication Protocol [PEAP]) can
use the access point.
Note This command is not supported on
bridges.
See the Cisco IOS Commands for Access Points
and Bridges document for more details.
Step 3
encryption method algorithm key
Example:
Router(config-if)# encryption vlan 1 mode
ciphers tkip
Router(config-if)#
Specifies the encryption method, algorithm, and
key used to access the wireless interface.
The example uses the VLAN with optional
encryption method of data ciphers.
Step 4
ssid name
Example:
Router(config-if)# ssid cisco
Router(config-if-ssid)#
Creates a Service Set ID (SSID), the public
name of a wireless network.
Note All of the wireless devices on a WLAN
must employ the same SSID to
communicate with each other.
