34 CommissioningChapter 3 - Initial Configuration3.1 IntroductionThe Access Point (AP) unit offers a variety of management options, including a web-based interface, Telnet, SSH, SNMP and a direct connection to the console port.The initial configuration steps can be made through the web browser interface or CLI.
Initial Setup through the CLIBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  353.2 Initial Setup through the CLIFor a description of how to use the CLI, see “Using the Command Line Interface” on page 125. For a list of all the CLI commands and detailed information on using the CLI, refer to “Command Groups” on page 132.3.2.1 Configuration via TelnetBy default, use the Telnet option to configure the unit. The AP uses the default address 192.168.1.1. This address may not be compatible with your network. You will therefore have to use the command line interface (CLI) to assign an IP address that is compatible with your network as described on page 36.Use the category 5 Ethernet data cable (2 pairs crosswire) provided to connect the SU port on the Wi² unit to your PC and Telnet the unit to start the initial setup.3.2.2 Configuration via ConsoleThe Wi² has a console port that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuration. Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the Wi² using an RS232 console cable. 1Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC running terminal emulation software.2Connect the other end of the cable to the console port on the Wi² unit.3Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:-:Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or 2).Set the data rate to 9600 baud.Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.Set flow control to none.Set the emulation mode to VT100.When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not Windows keys.4Once you have set up the terminal correctly, press the [Enter] key to initiate the console connection. The console login screen is displayed.To connect to the console port:
36 CommissioningChapter 3 - Initial Configuration3.2.3 Initial Configuration StepsLogging In – Enter admin for the user name. The default password is null, so just press [Enter] at the password prompt. The CLI prompt appears displaying Enterprise AP#.Setting the Country Code  – You must use the CLI to set the country code. Setting the country code restricts operation of the AP to the radio channels and transmit power levels permitted for wireless networks in the specified country. Type exit to leave configuration mode. Then type country ? to display the list of countries. Select the code for your country, and enter the country command again, following by your country code (e.g., tw for Taiwan).Setting the IP Address – By default, the AP is configured to obtain IP address settings from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available, the IP address defaults to 192.168.1.1, which may not be compatible with your network. You will therefore have to use the command line interface (CLI) to assign an IP address that is compatible with your network. Type configure to enter configuration mode, then type interface ethernet to access the Ethernet interface-configuration mode.First type no ip dhcp to disable DHCP client mode. Then type ip address and the ip-address netmask gateway, where ip-address is the AP’s IP address, netmask is the network mask for the network, and gateway is the default gateway router. Check with your system administrator to obtain an IP address that is compatible with your network.Username: adminPassword: Enterprise AP#NOTEFor American and Canadian customers only channels 1~11 are permitted.

 46 OperationChapter 4 - System ConfigurationBy default, the AP is automatically configured with IP settings from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. However, if you are not using a DHCP server to configure IP addressing, use the CLI to manually configure the initial IP values (see  page 36). Once you have network access to the AP, you can use the web browser interface to modify the initial IP configuration, if necessary.DHCP Client (Enable) – Select this option to obtain the IP settings for the AP from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. The IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and Domain Name Server (DNS) address are dynamically assigned to the AP by the network DHCP server. (Default: Enabled) DHCP Client (Disable) – Select this option to manually configure a static address for the AP. IP Address: The IP address of the AP. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.Subnet Mask: The mask that identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.NOTEIf there is no DHCP server on your network, or DHCP fails, the AP will automatically start up with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1.Figure 4-3: TCP/IP Settings
Advanced ConfigurationBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  47Default Gateway: The default gateway is the IP address of the router for the AP, which is used if the requested destination address is not on the local subnet.If you have management stations, DNS, RADIUS, or other network servers located on another subnet, type the IP address of the default gateway router in the text field provided. Otherwise, leave the address as all zeros (0.0.0.0).Primary and Secondary DNS Address: The IP address of Domain Name Servers on the network. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses. If you have one or more DNS servers located on the local network, type the IP addresses in the text fields provided. Otherwise, leave the addresses as all zeros (0.0.0.0).4.2.2.0.1 CLI Commands for TCP/IP Settings From the global configuration mode, enter the interface configuration mode with the interface ethernet command. Use the ip dhcp command to enable the DHCP client, or no ip dhcp to disable it. To manually configure an address, specify the new IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using the ip address command. To specify DNS server addresses use the dns server command and use the show interface ethernet command from the Exec mode to display the current IP settings.Enterprise AP(config)#interface ethernet 204Enter Ethernet configuration commands, one per line.Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#no ip dhcp 206Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.253 205Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#dns primary-server 192.168.1.55 204Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#dns secondary-server 10.1.0.55 204Enterprise AP(config)#end 135Enterprise AP#show interface ethernet 207Ethernet Interface Information========================================IP Address          : 192.168.1.2Subnet Mask         : 255.255.255.0Default Gateway     : 192.168.1.253Primary DNS         : 192.168.1.55Secondary DNS       : 10.1.0.55Admin status        : UpOperational status  : Up========================================Enterprise AP#
 48 OperationChapter 4 - System Configuration4.2.3 RADIUSRemote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication protocol that uses software running on a central server to control access to RADIUS-aware devices on the network. An authentication server contains a database of user credentials for each user that requires access to the network.A primary RADIUS server must be specified for the AP to implement IEEE 802.1X network access control and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) wireless security. A secondary RADIUS server may also be specified as a backup should the primary server fail or become inaccessible.In addition, the configured RADIUS server can also act as a RADIUS Accounting server and receive user-session accounting information from the AP. RADIUS Accounting can be used to provide valuable information on user activity in the network.NOTEThis manual assumes that you have already configured RADIUS server(s) to support the AP. Configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond the scope of this manul, refer to the documentation provided with the RADIUS server software.
Advanced ConfigurationBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  49MAC Address Format – MAC addresses can be specified in one of four formats, using no delimiter, with a single dash delimiter, with multiple dash delimiters, and with multiple colon delimiters.VLAN ID Format – A VLAN ID (a number between 1 and 4094) can be assigned to each client after successful authentication using IEEE 802.1X and a central RADIUS server. The user VLAN IDs must be configured on the RADIUS server for Figure 4-4: RADIUS
 50 OperationChapter 4 - System Configurationeach user authorized to access the network. VLAN IDs can be entered as hexadecimal numbers or as ASCII strings.Primary Radius Server Setup – Configure the following settings to use RADIUS authentication on the AP.Radius Status: Enabling Radius Status allows the settings of RADIUS authentication. (Default: Enable)IP Address: Specifies the IP address or host name of the RADIUS server.Port: The UDP port number used by the RADIUS server for authentication messages. (Range: 1024-65535; Default: 1812)Key: A shared text string used to encrypt messages between the AP and the RADIUS server. Be sure that the same text string is specified on the RADIUS server. Do not use blank spaces in the string. (Maximum length: 255 characters)Timeout: Number of seconds the AP waits for a reply from the RADIUS server before resending a request. (Range: 1-60 seconds; Default: 5)Retransmit attempts: The number of times the AP tries to resend a request to the RADIUS server before authentication fails. (Range: 1-30; Default: 3)Accounting Port: The RADIUS Accounting server UDP port used for accounting messages. (Range: 0 or 1024-65535; Default: 0, disabled)Interim Update Timeout: The interval between transmitting accounting updates to the RADIUS server. (Range: 60-86400; Default: 3600 seconds)Secondary Radius Server Setup – Configure a secondary RADIUS server to provide a backup in case the primary server fails. The AP uses the secondary server if the primary server fails or becomes inaccessible. Once the AP switches over to the secondary server, it periodically attempts to establish communication again with primary server. If communication with the primary server is re-established, the secondary server reverts to a backup role.NOTEFor the Timeout and Retransmit attempts fields, accept the default values unless you experience problems connecting to the RADIUS server over the network.
Advanced ConfigurationBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  514.2.3.0.1 CLI Commands for RADIUS From the global configuration mode, use the radius-server address command to specify the address of the primary or secondary RADIUS servers. (The following example configures the settings for the primary RADIUS server.) Configure the other parameters for the RADIUS server. Then use the show radius command from the Exec mode to display the current settings for the primary and secondary RADIUS servers.4.2.4 SSH SettingsTelnet is a remote management tool that can be used to configure the AP from anywhere in the network. However, Telnet is not secure from hostile attacks. The Secure Shell (SSH) can act as a secure replacement for Telnet. The SSH protocol uses generated public keys to encrypt all data transfers passing between the AP and SSH-enabled management station clients and ensures that data traveling over the network arrives unaltered. Clients can then securely use the local user name and password for access authentication.Enterprise AP(config)#radius-server address 192.168.1.25 185Enterprise AP(config)#radius-server port 181 186Enterprise AP(config)#radius-server key green 186Enterprise AP(config)#radius-server timeout 10 187Enterprise AP(config)#radius-server retransmit 5 186Enterprise AP(config)#radius-server port-accounting 1813 187Enterprise AP(config)#radius-server timeout-interim 500 188Enterprise AP(config)#exitEnterprise AP#show radius 189Radius Server Information========================================IP                 : 192.168.1.25Port               : 181Key                : *****Retransmit         : 5Timeout            : 10Radius MAC format  : no-delimiterRadius VLAN format : HEX========================================Radius Secondary Server Information========================================IP                 : 0.0.0.0Port               : 1812Key                : *****Retransmit         : 3Timeout            : 5Radius MAC format  : no-delimiterRadius VLAN format : HEX========================================Enterprise AP#

Advanced ConfigurationBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  534.2.5 AuthenticationWireless clients can be authenticated for network access by checking their MAC address against the local database configured on the AP, or by using a database configured on a central RADIUS server. Alternatively, authentication can be implemented using the IEEE 802.1X network access control protocol.A client’s MAC address provides relatively weak user authentication, since MAC addresses can be easily captured and used by another station to break into the network. Using 802.1X provides more robust user authentication using user names and passwords or digital certificates. You can configure the access point to use both MAC address and 802.1X authentication, with client station MAC authentication occurring prior to IEEE 802.1X authentication. However, it is better to choose one or the other, as appropriate.Take note of the following points before configuring MAC address or 802.1X authentication:Use MAC address authentication for a small network with a limited number of users. MAC addresses can be manually configured on the AP itself without the need to set up a RADIUS server, but managing a large number of MAC addresses across many APs is very cumbersome. A RADIUS server can be used to centrally manage a larger database of user MAC addresses.Use IEEE 802.1X authentication for networks with a larger number of users and where security is the most important issue. When using 802.1X authentication, a RADIUS server is required in the wired network to centrally manage the credentials of the wireless clients. It also provides a mechanism for enhanced network security using dynamic encryption key rotation or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). The AP can also operate in a 802.1X supplicant mode. This enables the AP itself to be authenticated with a RADIUS server using a configured MD5 user name and password. This prevents rogue APs from gaining access to the network.NOTEIf you configure RADIUS MAC authentication together with 802.1X, RADIUS MAC address authentication is performed prior to 802.1X authentication. If RADIUS MAC authentication succeeds, then 802.1X authentication is performed. If RADIUS MAC authentication fails, 802.1X authentication is not performed.
 54 OperationChapter 4 - System ConfigurationMAC Authentication – You can configure a list of the MAC addresses for wireless clients that are authorized to access the network. This provides a basic level of authentication for wireless clients attempting to gain access to the network. A database of authorized MAC addresses can be stored locally on the AP or remotely on a central RADIUS server. (Default: Disabled)Disabled: No checks are performed on an associating station’s MAC address.Local MAC: The MAC address of the associating station is compared against the local database stored on the AP. Use the Local MAC Authentication section of this web page to set up the local database, and configure all APs in the wireless network service area with the same MAC address database.Radius MAC: The MAC address of the associating station is sent to a configured RADIUS server for authentication. When using a RADIUS authentication server for MAC address authentication, the server must first be configured in the Radius window (see “RADIUS” on page 48). The database of MAC addresses and filtering policy must be defined in the RADIUS server.Figure 4-6: Authentication
Advanced ConfigurationBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  55802.1X Supplicant – The AP can also operate in a 802.1X supplicant mode. This enables the access point itself to be authenticated with a RADIUS server using a configured MD5 user name and password. This prevents rogue APs from gaining access to the network.Local MAC Authentication – Configures the local MAC authentication database. The MAC database provides a mechanism to take certain actions based on a wireless client’s MAC address. The MAC list can be configured to allow or deny network access to specific clients.System Default: Specifies a default action for all unknown MAC addresses (that is, those not listed in the local MAC database).Deny: Blocks access for all MAC addresses except those listed in the local database as “Allow.”Allow: Permits access for all MAC addresses except those listed in the local database as “Deny.”MAC Authentication Settings: Enters specified MAC addresses and permissions into the local MAC database.MAC Address: Physical address of a client. Enter six pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens; for example, 00-90-D1-12-AB-89.Permission: Select Allow to permit access or Deny to block access. If Delete is selected, the specified MAC address entry is removed from the database.Update: Enters the specified MAC address and permission setting into the local database.MAC Authentication Table: Displays current entries in the local MAC database.4.2.5.0.1 CLI Commands for Local MAC AuthenticationUse the mac-authentication server command from the global configuration mode to enable local MAC authentication. Use the mac-authentication session-timeout command to set the authentication interval to enable web-based authentication for service billing.

To display the current settings, use the show filters command from the Exec mode.4.2.7 VLANThe AP can employ VLAN tagging support to control access to network resources and increase security. VLANs separate traffic passing between the AP, associated clients, and the wired network. There can be a VLAN assigned to each associated client, a default VLAN for each VAP (Virtual Access Point) interface, and a management VLAN for the AP.Note the following points about the AP’s VLAN support:The management VLAN is for managing the AP through remote management tools, such as the web interface, SSH, SNMP, or Telnet. The AP only accepts management traffic that is tagged with the specified management VLAN ID.All wireless clients associated to the AP are assigned to a VLAN. If IEEE 802.1X is being used to authenticate wireless clients, specific VLAN IDs can be configured on the RADIUS server to be assigned to each client. If a client is not assigned to a specific VLAN or if 802.1X is not used, the client is assigned to the default VLAN for the VAP interface with which it is associated. The AP only allows traffic tagged with assigned VLAN IDs or default VLAN IDs to access clients associated on each VAP interface.When VLAN support is enabled on the AP, traffic passed to the wired network is tagged with the appropriate VLAN ID, either an assigned client VLAN ID, default VLAN ID, or the management VLAN ID.

Advanced ConfigurationBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  61network must also be tagged with one of these known VLAN IDs. Received traffic that has an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN tag is dropped.When VLAN support is disabled, the AP does not tag traffic passed to the wired network and ignores the VLAN tags on any received frames.Using IEEE 802.1X and a central RADIUS server, up to 64 VLAN IDs can be mapped to specific wireless clients, allowing users to remain within the same VLAN as they move around a campus site. This feature can also be used to control access to network resources from clients, thereby improving security.A VLAN ID (1-4094) can be assigned to a client after successful IEEE 802.1X authentication. The client VLAN IDs must be configured on the RADIUS server for each user authorized to access the network. If a client does not have a configured VLAN ID on the RADIUS server, the AP assigns the client to the configured default VLAN ID for the VAP interface.When setting up VLAN IDs for each user on the RADIUS server, be sure to use the RADIUS attributes and values as indicated Table 4-2.VLAN IDs on the RADIUS server can be entered as hexadecimal digits or a string (see “radius-server vlan-format” on page 189).NOTEBefore enabling VLAN tagging on the AP, be sure to configure the backhaul system to support tagged VLAN frames from the AP’s management VLAN ID, default VLAN IDs, and other client VLAN IDs. Otherwise, connectivity to the AP will be lost when you enable the VLAN feature.NOTEWhen using IEEE 802.1X to dynamically assign VLAN IDs, the AP must have 802.1X authentication enabled and a RADIUS server configured. Wireless clients must also support 802.1X client software.Table 4-2: RADIUS AttributesNumber RADIUS Attribute Value64 Tunnel-Type VLAN (13)65 Tunnel-Medium-Type 80281 Tunnel-Private-Group-ID VLANID(1 to 4094 as hexadecimal or string)

To provide more security for management access to the AP, specific interfaces can be disabled and management restricted to a single IP address or a limited range of IP addresses.Once you specify an IP address or range of addresses, access to management interfaces is restricted to the specified addresses. If anyone tries to access a management interface from an unauthorized address, the AP will reject the connection.NOTEThe specific configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to the documentation provided with the RADIUS server software.Figure 4-8: VLAN Configuration

To implement SNMP management, the AP must have an IP address and subnet mask, configured either manually or dynamically. Once an IP address has been configured, appropriate SNMP communities and trap receivers should be configured.Community names are used to control management access to SNMP stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages from the AP. To communicate with the AP, a management station must first submit a valid community name for authentication. You therefore need to assign community names to specified users or user groups and set the access level.SNMP – Enables or disables SNMP management access and also enables the AP to send SNMP traps (notifications).

Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  814.4 Radio InterfaceThe 802.11g interface includes configuration options for radio signal characteristics and wireless security features. The configuration options are nearly identical, and are therefore both covered in this section of the manual. The radio supports up to four virtual AP (VAP) interfaces numbered 0 to 3. Each VAP functions as a separate AP, and can be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID) and security settings. However, most radio signal parameters apply to all four VAP interfaces. The VAPs function similar to a VLAN, with each VAP mapped to its own VLAN ID. Traffic to specific VAPs can be segregated based on user groups or application traffic. Each VAP can have up to 64 wireless clients, whereby the clients associate with these VAPs the same as they would with a physical AP. 4.4.1 Radio Settings G (802.11g)The IEEE 802.11g standard operates within the 2.4 GHz band at up to 54 Mbps. Also note that because the IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the IEEE 802.11b standard, it allows clients with 802.11b wireless network cards to associate to an 802.11g access point.First configure the radio settings that apply to the individual VAPs (Virtual Access Point) and the common radio settings that apply to all of the 802.11g interfaces. After you have configured the radio settings, go to the Security page under the 802.g Interface (see  “Security” on page 4-98.), enable the radio service for any of the VAP interfaces, and then set an SSID to identify the wireless network service provided by each VAP. Remember that only clients with the same SSID can associate with a VAP.NOTE 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b. The 802.11g interface is configured independently under the Radio Interface G: 802.11b/g web pages.NOTEThe radio channel settings for the AP are limited by local regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available. Refer to “Specifications” on page 4 for additional information on the maximum number channels available.
 82 OperationChapter 4 - System ConfigurationFor information on configuring 802.11g settings, refer to the following sections:“Configuring VAP Radio Settings” on page 82“Configuring Rogue AP Detection” on page 84“Configuring WiFi Multimedia” on page 924.4.1.1 Configuring VAP Radio SettingsTo configure VAP radio settings, select the Radio Settings page.NOTEYou must first enable VAP interface 0 before the other interfaces can be enabled.Figure 4-17: Radio Settings Page
Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  83Default VLAN ID – The VLAN ID assigned to wireless clients associated to the VAP interface that are not assigned to a specific VLAN by RADIUS server configuration. (Default: 1)Closed System – When enabled, the VAP interface does not include its SSID in beacon messages. Nor does it respond to probe requests from clients that do not include a fixed SSID. (Default: Disable)Authentication Timeout Interval – The time within which the client should finish authentication before authentication times out. (Range: 5-60 minutes; Default: 60 minutes)Association Timeout Interval – The idle time interval (when no frames are sent) after which a client is disassociated from the VAP interface. (Range: 5-60 minutes; Default: 30 minutes)WPA2 PMKSA Life Time – WPA2 provides fast roaming for authenticated clients by retaining keys and other security settings in a cache for each VAP. In this way, when clients roam back into a VAP they had previously been using, re-authentication is not required. When a WPA2 client is first authenticated, it receives a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) that is used to generate the other keys used for unicast data encryption. This key and other client information form a client Security Association (SA) that the VAP holds in a cache. When the lifetime expires, the security association and keys are deleted from the cache. If the client returns to an access point after the association has been deleted, it will require full re-authentication. (Range: 1-1440 minutes; Default: 720 minutes)4.4.1.1.1 CLI Commands for the Configuring the VAPsFrom the global configuration mode, enter the interface wireless g command to access the 802.11g radio interface. From the 802.11g interface mode, you can access radio settings that apply to all VAP interfaces. To access a specific VAP Figure 4-18: Radio Settings

Rogue APs can allow unauthorized access to the network, or fool client stations into mistakenly associating with them and thereby blocking access to network resources. The AP can be configured to periodically scan all radio channels and find other APs within range. A database of nearby APs is maintained where any rogue APs can be identified. During a scan, Syslog messages (see “Enabling System Logging” Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#vap 0 210Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#description RD-AP#3 219Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#vlan-id 1 243Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#closed-system 220Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#authentication-timeout-  interval 30 221Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#association-timeout-    interval 20 221Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#max-association 32 220Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#pmksa-lifetime 900 236Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#Figure 4-19: Rouge AP Section of Radio Settings page

Rogue APs can be identified by unknown BSSID (MAC address) or SSID configuration.AP Detection – Enables the periodic scanning for other APs. (Default: Disable)AP Scan Interval – Sets the time between each rogue AP scan. (Range: 30 -10080 minutes; Default: 720 minutes)AP Scan Duration – Sets the length of time for each rogue AP scan. A long scan duration time will detect more access points in the area, but causes more disruption to client access. (Range: 100 -1000 milliseconds; Default: 350 milliseconds)Rogue AP Authenticate – Enables or disables RADIUS authentication. Enabling RADIUS Authentication allows the AP to discover rogue APs. With RADIUS authentication enabled, the access point checks the MAC address/ Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of each access point that it finds against a RADIUS server to determine whether the access point is allowed. With RADIUS authentication disabled, the access point can detect its neighboring APs only; it cannot identify whether the APs are allowed or are rogues. If you enable RADIUS authentication, you must configure a RADIUS server for this AP (see  “RADIUS” on page 4-48.).Scan AP Now – Starts an immediate rogue AP scan on the radio interface. (Default: Disable)4.4.1.2.1 CLI Commands for Rogue AP Detection  From the global configuration mode, enter the interface wireless command to access the 802.11g radio interface. From the wireless interface mode, use the rogue-ap enable command to enable rogue AP detection. Set the duration and interval times with the rogue-ap duration and rogue-ap interval commands. If required, start an immediate scan using the rogue-ap scan command. To view the NOTEWhile the AP scans a channel for rogue APs, wireless clients will not be able to connect to the access point. Therefore, avoid frequent scanning or scans of a long duration unless there is a reason to believe that more intensive scanning is required to find a rogue AP.

When multiple APs are deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access points at least four channels apart to avoid interference with each other. This means that you can deploy up to three APs in the same area. (In the United States you should use channels 1, 6 and 11. In most of Europe you can also use channels 2, 7 and 12, or 3, 8 and 13).  Also note that the channel for wireless clients is automatically set to the same as that used by the access point to which it is linked. In Turbo Mode (Super G enabled) only channel 6 should be used.

(Default: Enabled)Transmit Power – Adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the access point. The higher the transmission power, the farther the transmission range. Power selection is not just a trade off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also have to ensure that high-power signals do not interfere with the operation of other radio devices in the service area. (Options: 100%, 50%, 25%, 12%, minimum; Default: 100%)Maximum Station Data Rate – The maximum data rate at which the access point transmits unicast packets on the wireless interface.

Selecting the correct location ensures that the access point only uses radio channels that are permitted in the country of operation. (Default: Outdoor) MIC Mode – The Michael Integrity Check (MIC) is part of the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption used in WiFi Protected Access (WPA) security. The MIC calculation is performed in the access point for each transmitted packet and this can impact throughput and performance. The AP supports a choice of software or hardware MIC calculation. The performance of the AP can be improved by selecting the best method for the specific deployment. (Default: Software)Hardware: Provides best performance when the number of supported clients is less than 27.Software: Provides the best performance for a large number of clients on one radio interface. Throughput may be reduced when the 802.11g interface supports a high number of clients simultaneously.Super G – The Atheros proprietary Super G performance enhancements are supported by the access point. These enhancements include bursting, compression, and fast frames. Maximum throughput ranges between 40 to 60 Mbps for connections to Atheros-compatible clients. (Default: Disabled)Radio Mode – Selects the operating mode for the 802.11g wireless interface.

 90 OperationChapter 4 - System Configuration802.11b+g: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point (up to 54 Mbps).802.11b only: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point, but 802.11g clients can only transfer data at 802.11b standard rates (up to 11 Mbps).802.11g only: Only 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point (up to 54 Mbps).Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to automatically select an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: Enabled)Preamble – Sets the length of the signal preamble that is used at the start of a data transmission. (Default: Long)Long: Sets the preamble to long (192 microseconds). Using a long preamble ensures the access point can support all 802.11b and 802.11g clients.Short or Long: Sets the preamble according to the capability of clients that are currently associated. Uses a short preamble (96 microseconds) if all associated clients can support it, otherwise a long preamble is used. The access point can increase data throughput when using a short preamble, but will only use a short preamble if it determines that all associated clients support it.Beacon Interval – The rate at which beacon signals are transmitted from the access point. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with the access point. They may also carry power-management information. (Range: 20-1000 TUs; Default: 100 TUs)Data Beacon Rate – The rate at which stations in sleep mode must wake up to receive broadcast/multicast transmissions. Known also as the Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) interval, it indicates how often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic, which is necessary to wake up stations that are using Power Save mode. The default value of 2 indicates that the access point will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every second beacon. Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by stations in Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/multicast frames.(Range: 1-255 beacons; Default: 1 beacon)
Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  91Multicast Data Rate – The maximum data rate at which the access point transmits multicast and broadcast packets on the wireless interface. (Options: 24, 12, 6 Mbps; Default: 6 Mbps)Fragmentation Length – Configures the minimum packet size that can be fragmented when passing through the access point. Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant interference present, or collisions due to high network utilization, try setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will speed up the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more efficient to set the fragment size larger if very little or no interference is present because it requires overhead to send multiple frames. (Range: 256-2346 bytes; Default: 2346 bytes)RTS Threshold – Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the sending station starting communications. The access point sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS (clear to send) frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data. If the RTS threshold is set to 0, the access point always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the access point never sends RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled. The APs contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” (Range: 0-2347 bytes: Default: 2347 bytes)4.4.1.2.2 CLI Commands for the 802.11g Wireless Interface From the global configuration mode, enter the interface wireless g command to access the 802.11g radio interface.

Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  93Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism is required to prioritize traffic types and provide an “enhanced opportunity” wireless access method.The access point implements QoS using the WiFi Multimedia (WMM) standard. Using WMM, the access point is able to prioritize traffic and optimize performance when multiple applications compete for wireless network bandwidth at the same time. WMM employs techniques that are a subset of the developing IEEE 802.11e QoS standard and it enables the access point to inter operate with both WMM- enabled clients and other devices that may lack any WMM functionality.Access Categories — WMM defines four access categories (ACs): voice, video, best effort, and background. These categories correspond to traffic priority levels and are mapped to IEEE 802.1D priority tags (see Table 4-5). The direct mapping of the four ACs to 802.1D priorities is specifically intended to facilitate inter operability with other wired network QoS policies. While the four ACs are specified for specific types of traffic, WMM allows the priority levels to be configured to match any network-wide QoS policy. WMM also specifies a protocol that access points can use to communicate the configured traffic priority levels to QoS-enabled wireless clients.WMM Operation — WMM uses traffic priority based on the four ACs; Voice, Video, Best Effort, and Background. The higher the AC priority, the higher the probability that data is transmitted. When the access point forwards traffic, WMM adds data packets to four independent transmit queues, one for each AC, depending on the 802.1D priority tag of the packet. Data packets without a priority tag are always added to the Best Effort AC queue. From the four queues, an internal “virtual” collision resolution mechanism first selects data with the highest priority to be granted a transmit Table 4-5: WMM Access CategoriesAccess Category WMM Designation Description 802.1D TagsAC_VO (AC3) Voice Highest priority, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP (Voice over IP) calls.7, 6AC_VI (AC2) Video High priority, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as streaming video.5, 4AC_BE (AC0) Best Effort Normal priority, medium delay and throughput. Data only affected by long delays. Data from applications or devices that lack QoS capabilities.0, 3AC_BK (AC1) Background Lowest priority. Data with no delay or throughput requirements, such as bulk data transfers.2, 1
 94 OperationChapter 4 - System Configurationopportunity. Then the same collision resolution mechanism is used externally to determine which device has access to the wireless medium. For each AC queue, the collision resolution mechanism is dependent on two timing parameters:AIFSN (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space Number), a number used to calculate the minimum time between data framesCW (Contention Window), a number used to calculate a random backoff timeAfter a collision detection, a backoff wait time is calculated. The total wait time is the sum of a minimum wait time (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space, or AIFS) determined from the AIFSN, and a random backoff time calculated from a value selected from zero to the CW. The CW value varies within a configurable range. It starts at CWMin and doubles after every collision up to a maximum value, CWMax. After a successful transmission, the CW value is reset to its CWMin value.For high-priority traffic, the AIFSN and CW values are smaller. The smaller values equate to less backoff and wait time, and therefore more transmit opportunities.To configure WMM, select the Radio Settings page, and scroll down to the WMM configuration settings.Figure 4-21: WMM Backoff Wait Times
Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  95WMM – Sets the WMM operational mode on the AP. When enabled, the parameters for each AC queue will be employed on the access point and QoS capabilities are advertised to WMM-enabled clients. (Default: Support)Disable: WMM is disabled.Support: WMM will be used for any associated device that supports this feature. Devices that do not support this feature may still associate with the access point.Required: WMM must be supported on any device trying to associated with the access point. Devices that do not support this feature will not be allowed to associate with the access point.WMM Acknowledge Policy – By default, all wireless data transmissions require the sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver. WMM allows the acknowledgement wait time to be turned off for each Access Category (AC).

 96 OperationChapter 4 - System ConfigurationWMM AP Parameters – These parameters apply to the access point.logCWMin (Minimum Contention Window) – The initial upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The initial wait time is a random value between zero and the CWMin value. Specify the CWMin value in the range 0-15 microseconds. Note that the CWMin value must be equal or less than the CWMax value.logCWMax (Maximum Contention Window) – The maximum upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The contention window is doubled after each detected collision up to the CWMax value. Specify the CWMax value in the range 0-15 microseconds. Note that the CWMax value must be greater or equal to the CWMin value. AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame Space) – The minimum amount of wait time before the next data transmission attempt. Specify the AIFS value in the range 0-15 microseconds. TXOP Limit (Transmit Opportunity Limit) – The maximum time an AC transmit queue has access to the wireless medium. When an AC queue is granted a transmit opportunity, it can transmit data for a time up to the TxOpLimit. This data bursting greatly improves the efficiency for high data-rate traffic. Specify a value in the range 0-65535 microseconds.Admission Control – The admission control mode for the access category. When enabled, clients are blocked from using the access category.

Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  105point. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network.WEP is the security protocol initially specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless communications. Unfortunately, WEP has been found to be seriously flawed and cannot be recommended for a high level of network security. For more robust wireless security, the access point provides WiFi Protected Access (WPA) for improved data encryption and user authentication.Setting up shared keys enables the basic IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) on the access point to prevent unauthorized access to the network.If you choose to use WEP shared keys instead of an open system, be sure to define at least one static WEP key for user authentication and data encryption. Also, be sure that the WEP shared keys are the same for each client in the wireless network.To set up WEP shared keys, click Radio Settings. Key Type – Select the preferred method of entering WEP encryption keys on the access point and enter up to four keys:Hexadecimal: Enter keys as 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9 and A-F) for 64 bit keys, 26 hexadecimal digits for 128 bit keys, or 32 hexadecimal digits for 152 bit keys (802.11g radio only). This is the default setting.NOTEAll clients share the same keys, which are used for user authentication and data encryption. Up to four keys can be specified. These four keys are used for all VAP interfaces on the same radio.Figure 4-24: WEP Shared Keys
 106 OperationChapter 4 - System ConfigurationAlphanumeric: Enter keys as 5 alphanumeric characters for 64 bit keys, 13 alphanumeric characters for 128 bit keys, or 16 alphanumeric characters for 152 bit keys.Key Number – Selects the key number to use for encryption for each VAP interface. If the clients have all four keys configured to the same values, you can change the encryption key to any of the four settings without having to update the client keys. (Default: Key 1)Shared Key Setup – Select 64 Bit, 128 Bit, or 152 Bit key length. Note that the same size of encryption key must be supported on all wireless clients. (Default: None)To enable WEP shared keys for a VAP interface, click Security. Then, select the VAP interface that will use WEP keys by clicking More, and configure the Authentication Type Setup and Encryption fields. Authentication Type Setup – Sets the access point to communicate as an open system that accepts network access attempts from any client, or with clients using pre-configured static shared keys. (Default: Open System)NOTEKey index and type must match that configured on the clients.In a mixed-mode environment with clients using static WEP keys and WPA, select WEP transmit key index 2, 3, or 4. The access point uses transmit key index 1 for the generation of dynamic keys.Figure 4-25: Security - Shared Keys
Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  107Open System: If you don’t set up any other security mechanism on the access point, the network has no protection and is open to all users. This is the default setting.Shared Key: Sets the access point to use WEP shared keys. If this option is selected, you must configure at least one key on the access point and all clients.Encryption – Enable or disable the access point to use data encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES). If this option is selected when using static WEP keys, you must configure at least one key on the access point and all clients. (Default: Disabled)4.4.2.2.1 CLI Commands for WEP Shared Key Security  To enable WEP shared key security for the 802.11g interface, use the interface wireless g command from the CLI configuration mode to access the interface mode for the 802.11g radio. First use the key command to define up to four WEP keys that can be used for all VAP interfaces on the radio. Then use the vap command to access each VAP interface to configure other security settings.From the VAP interface configuration mode, use the auth command to enable WEP shared-key authentication, which enables encryption automatically. Then set one key as the transmit key for the VAP interface using the transmit-key command. To view the current security settings, use the show interface wireless g [0-3] command from the Exec mode.4.4.2.2.2 CLI Commands for WEP over 802.1X SecurityUse the vap command to access each VAP interface to configure the security settings. First set 802.1X to required using the 802.1x command and set the 802.1X key refresh rates. Then, use the auth command to select open system authentication and the encryption command to enable data encryption. To view NOTETo use 802.1X on wireless clients requires a network card driver and 802.1X client software that supports the EAP authentication type that you want to use. Windows 2000 SP3 or later and Windows XP provide 802.1X client support. Windows XP also provides native WPA support. Other systems require additional client software to support 802.1X and WPA.NOTEYou must enable data encryption through the web or CLI in order to enable all types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the AP.
 108 OperationChapter 4 - System Configurationthe current security settings, use the show interface wireless g [0-3] command (not shown in example). 4.4.2.3 WiFi Protected Access (WPA)WPA employs a combination of several technologies to provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless networks. The access point supports the following WPA components and features:IEEE 802.1X and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP): WPA employs 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and dynamic key management. The 802.1X client and RADIUS server should use an appropriate EAP type—such as EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security), EAP-TTLS (Tunneled TLS), or PEAP (Protected EAP)—for strongest authentication. Working together, these protocols provide “mutual authentication” between a client, the access point, and a RADIUS server that prevents users from accidentally joining a rogue network. Only when a RADIUS server has authenticated a user’s credentials will encryption keys be sent to the access point and client.Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP): WPA specifies TKIP as the data encryption method to replace WEP. TKIP avoids the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys. Basically, TKIP starts with a master (temporal) key for each user session and then mathematically generates other keys to encrypt each data packet. TKIP provides further data encryption enhancements by including a message integrity check for each packet and a re-keying mechanism, which periodically changes the master key. WPA Pre-Shared Key Mode (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK): For enterprise deployment, WPA requires a RADIUS authentication server to be configured on the wired network. However, for small office networks that may not have the resources to configure and maintain a RADIUS server, WPA provides a simple operating mode that uses just a pre-shared password for network access. The Pre-Shared Key mode uses a common password for user authentication that is manually entered on the access point and all wireless clients. The PSK mode uses the same TKIP Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#vap 0Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#802.1X required 191Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#802.1X session-timeout 300Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#auth open-system 230Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#encryption 232Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#NOTETo implement WPA on wireless clients requires a WPA-enabled network card driver and 802.1X client software that supports the EAP authentication type that you want to use. Windows XP provides native WPA support, other systems require additional software.
Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  109packet encryption and key management as WPA in the enterprise, providing a robust and manageable alternative for small networks.Mixed WPA and WEP Client Support: WPA enables the access point to indicate its supported encryption and authentication mechanisms to clients using its beacon signal. WPA-compatible clients can likewise respond to indicate their WPA support. This enables the access point to determine which clients are using WPA security and which are using legacy WEP. The access point uses TKIP unicast data encryption keys for WPA clients and WEP unicast keys for WEP clients. The global encryption key for multicast and broadcast traffic must be the same for all clients, therefore it restricts encryption to a WEP key.When access is opened to both WPA and WEP clients, no authentication is provided for the WEP clients through shared keys. To support authentication for WEP clients in this mixed mode configuration, you can use either MAC authentication or 802.1X authentication.WPA2 – WPA was introduced as an interim solution for the vulnerability of WEP pending the ratification of the IEEE 802.11i wireless security standard. In effect, the WPA security features are a subset of the 802.11i standard. WPA2 includes the now ratified 802.11i standard, but also offers backward compatibility with WPA. Therefore, WPA2 includes the same 802.1X and PSK modes of operation and support for TKIP encryption. The main differences and enhancements in WPA2 can be summarized as follows:Advanced Encryption Standard (AES): WPA2 uses AES Counter-Mode encryption with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) for message integrity. The AES Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) provides extremely robust data confidentiality using a 128-bit key. The AES-CCMP encryption cipher is specified as a standard requirement for WPA2. However, the computational intensive operations of AES-CCMP requires hardware support on client devices. Therefore to implement WPA2 in the network, wireless clients must be upgraded to WPA2-compliant hardware.WPA2 Mixed-Mode: WPA2 defines a transitional mode of operation for networks moving from WPA security to WPA2. WPA2 Mixed Mode allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to associate to a common SSID interface. In mixed mode, the unicast encryption cipher (TKIP or AES-CCMP) is negotiated for each client. The access point advertises its supported encryption ciphers in beacon frames and probe responses. WPA and WPA2 clients select the cipher they support and return the choice in the association request to the access point. For mixed-mode operation, the cipher used for broadcast frames is always TKIP. WEP encryption is not allowed.
 110 OperationChapter 4 - System ConfigurationKey Caching: WPA2 provides fast roaming for authenticated clients by retaining keys and other security information in a cache, so that if a client roams away from an access point and then returns, re-authentication is not required. When a WPA2 client is first authenticated, it receives a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) that is used to generate other keys for unicast data encryption. This key and other client information form a Security Association that the access point names and holds in a cache. Preauthentication: Each time a client roams to another access point it has to be fully re-authenticated. This authentication process is time consuming and can disrupt applications running over the network. WPA2 includes a mechanism, known as pre-authentication, that allows clients to roam to a new access point and be quickly associated. The first time a client is authenticated to a wireless network it has to be fully authenticated. When the client is about to roam to another access point in the network, the access point sends pre-authentication messages to the new access point that include the client’s security association information. Then when the client sends an association request to the new access point, the client is known to be already authenticated, so it proceeds directly to key exchange and association.To configure WPA, click Security, select one of the VAP interfaces by clicking More. Select one of the WPA options in the Authentication Setup table, and then configure the parameters displayed beneath the table.
Radio InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  111The WPA configuration parameters are described below:Encryption – You must enable data encryption in order to enable all types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, or AES) in the access point. Pre-Authentication – When using WPA2 over 802.1X, pre-authentication can be enabled, which allows clients to roam to a new access point and be quickly associated without performing full 802.1X authentication. (Default: Disabled)Authentication Setup – To use WPA or WPA2, set the access point to one of the following options. If a WPA/WPA2 mode that operates over 802.1X is selected (WPA, WPA2, or WPA-WPA2-mixed), the 802.1X settings and RADIUS server details need to be configured. Be sure you have also configured a RADIUS server on the network before enabling authentication. If a WPA/WPA2 Pre-shared Key mode is selected (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-WPA2 PSK-Mixed), be sure to specify the key string. WPA: Clients using WPA over 802.1X are accepted for authentication.Figure 4-26: Security - WPA Configuration

(Default: Required)Cipher Suite – Selects an encryption method for the global key used for multicast and broadcast traffic, which is supported by all wireless clients.WEP: WEP is used as the multicast encryption cipher. You should select WEP only when both WPA and WEP clients are supported. TKIP: TKIP is used as the multicast encryption cipher.AES-CCMP: AES-CCMP is used as the multicast encryption cipher. AES-CCMP is the standard encryption cipher required for WPA2.WPA Pre-Shared Key Type – If the WPA or WPA2 pre-shared-key mode is used, all wireless clients must be configured with the same key to communicate with the AP.Hexadecimal – Enter a key as a string of 64 hexadecimal numbers.Alphanumeric – Enter a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers. The string must be from 8 to 63 characters, which can include spaces.The configuration settings for WPA are summarized in Table 4-8:

This control feature prevents unauthorized access to the network by requiring an 802.1X client application to submit user credentials for authentication. The 802.1X standard uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to pass user credentials (either digital certificates, user names and passwords, or other) from the client to the RADIUS server. Client authentication is then verified on the RADIUS server before the access point grants client access to the network.The 802.1X EAP packets are also used to pass dynamic unicast session keys and static broadcast keys to wireless clients. Session keys are unique to each client and are used to encrypt and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and the access point. You can also enable broadcast key rotation, so the access point provides a dynamic broadcast key and changes it at a specified interval.

(Default: Disable)Disable: The AP does not support 802.1X authentication for any wireless client. After successful wireless association with the access point, each client is allowed to access the network.Supported: The access point supports 802.1X authentication only for clients initiating the 802.1X authentication process (i.e., the access point does not initiate 802.1X authentication). For clients initiating 802.1X, only those successfully authenticated are allowed to access the network. For those clients not initiating 802.1X, access to the network is allowed after successful wireless association with the access point. The 802.1X supported mode allows access for clients not using WPA or WPA2 security.Required: The access point enforces 802.1X authentication for all associated wireless clients. If 802.1X authentication is not initiated by a client, the AP will initiate authentication. Only those clients successfully authenticated with 802.1X are allowed to access the network.4.4.2.4.1 CLI Commands for 802.1X Authentication Use the 802.1X supported command from the VAP interface mode to enable 802.1X authentication.

Using the Command Line InterfaceBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  1255.1 Using the Command Line Interface5.1.1 Accessing the CLIWhen accessing the management interface over a direct connection to the console port, or via a Telnet connection, the Access Point (AP) unit can be managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using AP’s command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.5.1.2 Console Connection1At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default user name is admin and the default password is smcadmin.) When the user name is entered, the CLI displays the Enterprise AP# prompt. 2Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks. 3When finished, exit the session with the “exit” command.After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen is displayed:5.1.3 Telnet ConnectionTelnet operates over the IP transport protocol. In this environment, your management station and any network device you want to manage over the network must have a valid IP address. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Each address consists of a network portion and host portion. For example, if the AP cannot acquire an IP address from a DHCP server, the default IP address used by the AP, 192.168.1.1, consists of a network portion (192.168.1) and a host portion (1).To access the Wi2 through the console port:Username: adminPassword: Enterprise AP#CAUTIONCommand examples shown later in this chapter abbreviate the console prompt to “AP” for simplicity.
 126 OperationChapter 5 - Command Line InterfaceTo access the AP through a Telnet session, you must first set the IP address for the AP, and set the default gateway if you are managing the AP from a different IP subnet. For example:If your corporate network is connected to another network outside your office or to the Internet, you need to apply for a registered IP address. However, if you are attached to an isolated network, then you can use any IP address that matches the network segment to which you are attached.After you have configured the AP with an IP address, you can open a Telnet session. 1From the remote host, enter the Telnet command and the IP address of the device you want to access. 2At the prompt, enter the user name and system password. The CLI will display the  Enterprise AP# prompt to show that you are using executive access mode (i.e., Exec). 3Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks. 4When finished, exit the session with the “quit” or “exit” command. After entering the Telnet command, the login screen is displayed:Enterprise AP#configureEnterprise AP(config)#interface ethernetEnterprise AP(if-ethernet)#ip address 10.1.0.1 255.255.255.0 10.1.0.254Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#To open an Telnet session:Username: adminPassword: Enterprise AP#CAUTIONYou can open up to four sessions to the device via Telnet.
Entering CommandsBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  1275.2 Entering CommandsThis section describes how to enter CLI commands.5.2.1 Keywords and ArgumentsA CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For example, in the command “show interfaces ethernet,” show and interfaces are keywords, and ethernet is an argument that specifies the interface type.You can enter commands as follows:To enter a simple command, enter the command keyword. To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters after the command keyword. For example, to set a password for the administrator, enter:Enterprise AP(config)#username smith5.2.2 Minimum AbbreviationThe CLI accepts a minimum number of characters that uniquely identify a command. For example, the command “configure” can be entered as con. If an entry is ambiguous, the system will prompt for further input.5.2.3 Command CompletionIf you terminate input with a Tab key, the CLI will print the remaining characters of a partial keyword up to the point of ambiguity. In the “configure” example, typing con followed by a tab will result in printing the command up to “configure.”5.2.4 Getting Help on CommandsYou can display a brief description of the help system by entering the help command. You can also display command syntax by following a command with the “?” character to list keywords or parameters.5.2.4.1 Showing CommandsIf you enter a “?” at the command prompt, the system will display the first level of keywords for the current configuration mode (Exec, Global Configuration, or
 128 OperationChapter 5 - Command Line InterfaceInterface). You can also display a list of valid keywords for a specific command. For example, the command “show ?” displays a list of possible show commands:The command “show interface ?” will display the following information:5.2.5 Partial Keyword LookupIf you terminate a partial keyword with a question mark, alternatives that match the initial letters are provided. (Remember not to leave a space between the command and question mark.) For example “s?” shows all the keywords starting with “s.”5.2.6 Negating the Effect of CommandsFor many configuration commands you can enter the prefix keyword “no” to cancel the effect of a command or reset the configuration to the default value. For example, the logging command will log system messages to a host server. To disable logging, specify the no logging command. This guide describes the negation effect for all applicable commands.Enterprise AP#show ?

You can scroll back through the history of commands by pressing the up arrow key. Any command displayed in the history list can be executed again, or first modified and then executed. Using the show history command displays a longer list of recently executed commands. 5.2.8 Understanding Command ModesThe command set is divided into Exec and Configuration classes. Exec commands generally display information on system status or clear statistical counters. Configuration commands, on the other hand, modify interface parameters or enable certain functions. These classes are further divided into different modes. Available commands depend on the selected mode. You can always enter a question mark “?” at the prompt to display a list of the commands available for the current mode. The command classes and associated modes are displayed in Table 5-1:5.2.9 Exec CommandsWhen you open a new console session on an AP, the system enters Exec command mode. Only a limited number of the commands are available in this mode. You can access all other commands only from the configuration mode. To access Exec mode, open a new console session with the user name admin. The command prompt displays as Enterprise AP# for Exec mode.

 130 OperationChapter 5 - Command Line Interface5.2.10 Configuration CommandsConfiguration commands are used to modify AP settings. These commands modify the running configuration and are saved in memory. The configuration commands are organized into four different modes:Global Configuration (GC) - These commands modify the system level configuration, and include commands such as username and password. Interface-Ethernet Configuration (IC-E) - These commands modify the Ethernet port configuration, and include command such as dns and ip.Interface-Wireless Configuration (IC-W) - These commands modify the wireless port configuration of global parameters for the radio, and include commands such as channel and transmit-power.Interface-Wireless Virtual Access Point Configuration (IC-W-VAP) - These commands modify the wireless port configuration for each VAP, and include commands such as ssid and authentication.To enter the Global Configuration mode, enter the command configure in Exec mode. The system prompt will change to “Enterprise AP(config)#” which gives you access privilege to all Global Configuration commands.To enter Interface mode, you must enter the “interface ethernet,” or “interface wireless a,” or “interface wireless g” command while in Global Configuration mode. The system prompt will change to “Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#,” or Enterprise AP(if-wireless)” indicating that you have access privileges to the associated commands. You can use the end command to return to the Exec mode.5.2.11 Command Line ProcessingCommands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and parameters as long as they contain enough letters to differentiate them from any other currently available commands or parameters.

 166 OperationChapter 5 - Command Line Interface5.8 DHCP Relay CommandsDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can dynamically allocate an IP address and other configuration information to network clients that broadcast a request. To receive the broadcast request, the DHCP server would normally have to be on the same subnet as the client. However, when the AP’s DHCP relay agent is enabled, received client requests can be forwarded directly by the AP to a known DHCP server on another subnet. Responses from the DHCP server are returned to the AP, which then broadcasts them back to clients.5.8.1 dhcp-relay enableThis command enables the AP’s DHCP relay agent. Use the no form to disable the agent.Syntax[no] dhcp-relay enableDefault Setting DisabledCommand Mode Global ConfigurationCommand Usage • For the DHCP relay agent to function, the primary DHCP server must be configured using the dhcp-relay primary command. A secondary DHCP server does not need to be configured, but it is recommended.• If there is no response from the primary DHCP server, and a secondary server has been configured, the agent will then attempt to send DHCP requests to the secondary server.Example 5.8.2 dhcp-relayThis command configures the primary and secondary DHCP server addresses.Table 5-9: DHCP Relay CommandsCommand Function Mode Pagedhcp-relay enable Enables the DHCP relay agent GC 166dhcp-relay Sets the primary and secondary DHCP server address GC 166show dhcp-relay Shows current DHCP relay configuration settings Exec  167Enterprise AP(config)#dhcp-relay enableEnterprise AP(config)#

You should therefore configure the engine ID with the snmp-server engine-id command before using this configuration command.• The AP enables SNMP v3 users to be assigned to three pre-defined groups. Other groups cannot be defined. The available groups are:- RO - A read-only group using no authentication and no data encryption. Users in this group use no security, either authentication or encryption, in SNMP messages they send to the agent. This is the same as SNMP v1 or SNMP v2c.- RWAuth - A read/write group using authentication, but no data encryption. Users in this group send SNMP messages that use an MD5 key/password for authentication, but not a DES key/password for encryption.- RWPriv - A read/write group using authentication and data encryption. Users in this group send SNMP messages that use an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be defined.• The command prompts for the following information to configure an SNMP v3 user:-user-name - A user-defined string for the SNMP user. (32 characters maximum)-group-name - The name of the SNMP group to which the user is assigned (32 characters maximum). There are three pre-defined groups: RO, RWAuth, or RWPriv.-auth-proto - The authentication type used for user authentication: md5 or none.-auth-passphrase - The user password required when authentication is used (8 – 32 characters).-priv-proto - The encryption type used for SNMP data encryption: des or none.-priv-passphrase - The user password required when data encryption is used (8 – 32 characters).• Users must be assigned to groups that have the same security levels. If a user who has “AuthPriv” security (uses authentication and encryption) is assigned to a read-only (RO) group, the user will not be able to access the database. An AuthPriv user must be assigned to the RWPriv group with the AuthPriv security level.• To configure a user for the RWAuth group, you must include the auth-proto and auth-passphrase keywords.• To configure a user for the RWPriv group, you must include the auth-proto, auth-passphrase, priv-proto, and priv-passphrase keywords.Enterprise AP(config)#snmp-server engine-id 1a:2b:3c:4d:00:ffEnterprise AP(config)#

802.1X AuthenticationBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  1915.12 802.1X AuthenticationThe AP supports IEEE 802.1X access control for wireless clients. This control feature prevents unauthorized access to the network by requiring an 802.1X client application to submit user credentials for authentication. Client authentication is then verified by a RADIUS server using EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) before the AP grants client access to the network. The 802.1X EAP packets are also used to pass dynamic unicast session keys and static broadcast keys to wireless clients.5.12.1 802.1xThis command configures 802.1X as optionally supported or as required for wireless clients.

Syntaxchannel <channel | auto>•channel - Manually sets the radio channel used for communications with wireless clients. (Range for 802.11b/g: 1 to 14)•auto - Automatically selects an unoccupied channel (if available). Otherwise, the lowest channel is selected.Default Setting Automatic channel selection Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless)Command Usage • The available channel settings are limited by local regulations, which determine the number of channels that are available. • When multiple APs are deployed in the same area, be sure to choose channels separated by at least four channels from each other . You can deploy up to three APs in the same area for 802.11b/g (e.g., channels 1, 6, 11).• When using Turbo Mode (Super G enabled), select channel 6.•For most wireless adapters, the channel for wireless clients is automatically set to the same as that used by the AP to which it is linked.Example5.18.6 transmit-powerThis command adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the AP.Syntaxtransmit-power <signal-strength>signal-strength - Signal strength transmitted from the AP. (Options: full, half, quarter, eighth, min)Default Setting fullCommand Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless)Command Usage • The “min” keyword indicates minimum power.• The longer the transmission distance, the higher the transmission power required. But to support the maximum number of users in an area, you must keep the power as low as possible. Power selection is not just a trade off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also have to ensure that high strength signals do not interfere with the operation of other radio devices in your area.Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#channel 1Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#
 214 OperationChapter 5 - Command Line InterfaceExample 5.18.7 radio-modeThis command forces the operating mode for the 802.11g wireless interface.Syntaxradio-mode <b | g | b+g>•b - b-only mode: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the AP, but 802.11g clients can only transfer data at 802.11b standard rates (up to 11 Mbps).•g - g-only mode: Only 802.11g clients can communicate with the AP (up to 54 Mbps).•b+g - b & g mixed mode: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the AP (up to 54 Mbps).Default Settingb+g modeCommand ModeInterface Configuration (Wireless - 802.11g)Command Usage • For Japan, only 13 channels are available when set to g or b+g modes. When set to b mode, 14 channels are available.• Both the 802.11g and 802.11b standards operate within the 2.4 GHz band. If you are operating in g mode, any 802.11b devices in the service area will contribute to the radio frequency noise and affect network performance.Example5.18.8 preambleThis command sets the length of the signal preamble that is used at the start of a 802.11b/g data transmission.Syntaxpreamble [long | short-or-long]•long - Sets the preamble to long (192 microseconds).•short-or-long - Sets the preamble to short if no 802.11b clients are detected (96 microseconds).Default SettingShort-or-LongCommand ModeInterface Configuration (Wireless - 802.11b/g)Command Usage• Using a short preamble instead of a long preamble can increase data throughput on the AP, but requires that all clients can support a short preamble.• Set the preamble to long to ensure the AP can support all 802.11b and 802.11g clients.Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#transmit-power halfEnterprise AP(if-wireless g)#Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#radio-mode gEnterprise AP(if-wireless g)#

Syntaxbeacon-interval <interval>interval - The rate for transmitting beacon signals. (Range: 20-1000 milliseconds)Default Setting 100Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless)Command Usage The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with the AP. They may also carry power-management information.Example5.18.13 dtim-period This command configures the rate at which stations in sleep mode must wake up to receive broadcast/multicast transmissions. Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#antenna id 0000Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#antenna location outdoorEnterprise AP(if-wireless g)#Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#beacon-interval 150Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#
Wireless Interface CommandsBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  217Syntaxdtim-period <interval>interval - Interval between the beacon frames that transmit broadcast or multicast traffic. (Range: 1-255 beacon frames)Default Setting 1Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless)Command Usage • The Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) packet interval value indicates how often the MAC layer forwards broadcast/multicast traffic. This parameter is necessary to wake up stations that are using Power Save mode.• The DTIM is the interval between two synchronous frames with broadcast/multicast information. The default value of 2 indicates that the AP will save all broadcast/multicast frames for the Basic Service Set (BSS) and forward them after every second beacon.• Using smaller DTIM intervals delivers broadcast/multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing stations in Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster. Using higher DTIM values reduces the power used by stations in Power Save mode, but delays the transmission of broadcast/multicast frames.Example5.18.14 fragmentation-length This command configures the minimum packet size that can be fragmented when passing through the AP. Syntaxfragmentation-length <length>length - Minimum packet size for which fragmentation is allowed. (Range: 256-2346 bytes)Default Setting 2346Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless)Command Usage • If the packet size is smaller than the preset Fragment size, the packet will not be segmented.• Fragmentation of the PDUs (Package Data Unit) can increase the reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant interference present, or collisions due to high network utilization, try setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will speed up the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more efficient to set the fragment size larger if very little or no interference is present because it requires overhead to send multiple frames.Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#dtim-period 100Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#
 218 OperationChapter 5 - Command Line InterfaceExample5.18.15 rts-thresholdThis command sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to the receiving station prior to the sending station starting communications.Syntaxrts-threshold <threshold>threshold - Threshold packet size for which to send an RTS. (Range: 0-2347 bytes)Default Setting 2347Command Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless)Command Usage • If the threshold is set to 0, the AP always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the AP never sends RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled.• The AP sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS frame to notify the sending station that it can start sending data. • APs contending for the wireless medium may not be aware of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node” problem.Example5.18.16 super-g This command enables Atheros proprietary Super G performance enhancements.

 226 OperationChapter 5 - Command Line Interface5.19 Rogue AP Detection CommandsA “rogue AP” is either an AP that is not authorized to participate in the wireless network, or an AP that does not have the correct security configuration. Rogue APs can potentially allow unauthorized users access to the network. Alternatively, client stations may mistakenly associate to a rogue AP and be prevented from accessing network resources. Rogue APs may also cause radio interference and degrade the wireless LAN performance.The AP can be configured to periodically scan all radio channels and find other APs within range. A database of nearby APs is maintained where any rogue APs can be identified.5.19.1 rogue-ap enableThis command enables the periodic detection of nearby APs. Use the no form to disable periodic detection.Syntax[no] rogue-ap enableDefault SettingDisabledCommand Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless)Command Usage • While the AP scans a channel for rogue APs, wireless clients will not be able to connect to the AP. Therefore, avoid frequent scanning or scans of a long duration unless there is a reason to believe that more intensive scanning is required to find a rogue AP.• A “rogue AP” is either an AP that is not authorized to participate in the wireless network, or an AP that does not have the correct security configuration. Rogue APs can be identified by unknown BSSID (MAC address) or SSID configuration.

With authentication enabled and a configure RADIUS server, the AP checks the MAC address/Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of each AP that it finds against a RADIUS server to determine whether the AP is allowed. With authentication disabled, the AP can identify its neighboring APs only; it cannot identify whether the APs are allowed or are rogues.

Wireless Security CommandsBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  231Default Setting open-systemCommand Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless-VAP)Command Usage • The auth command automatically configures settings for each authentication type, including encryption, 802.1X, and cipher suite. The command auth open-system disables encryption and 802.1X.• To use WEP shared-key authentication, set the authentication type to “shared-key” and define at least one static WEP key with the key command. Encryption is automatically enabled by the command.• To use WEP encryption only (no authentication), set the authentication type to “open-system.” Then enable WEP with the encryption command, and define at least one static WEP key with the key command.• When any WPA or WPA2 option is selected, clients are authenticated using 802.1X via a RADIUS server. Each client must be WPA-enabled or support 802.1X client software. The 802.1X settings (see “802.1X Authentication” on page 191) and RADIUS server details (see “RADIUS Client” on page 185) must be configured on the AP. A RADIUS server must also be configured and be available in the wired network.• If a WPA/WPA2 mode that operates over 802.1X is selected (WPA, WPA2, WPA-WPA2-mixed, or WPA-WPA2-PSK-mixed), the 802.1X settings (see “802.1X Authentication” on page 191) and RADIUS server details (see “RADIUS Client” on page 185) must be configured. Be sure you have also configured a RADIUS server on the network before enabling authentication. Also, note that each client has to be WPA-enabled or support 802.1X client software. A RADIUS server must also be configured and be available in the wired network.• If a WPA/WPA2 Pre-shared Key mode is selected (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA-WPA2-PSK-mixed), the key must first be generated and distributed to all wireless clients before they can successfully associate with the AP. Use the wpa-preshared-key command to configure the key (see “key” on page 232 and “transmit-key” on page 233). • WPA2 defines a transitional mode of operation for networks moving from WPA security to WPA2. WPA2 Mixed Mode allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to associate to a common VAP interface. When the encryption cipher suite is set to TKIP, the unicast encryption cipher (TKIP or AES-CCMP) is negotiated for each client. The AP advertises it’s supported encryption ciphers in beacon frames and probe responses. WPA and WPA2 clients select the cipher they support and return the choice in the association request to the . For mixed-mode operation, the cipher used for broadcast frames is always TKIP. WEP encryption is not allowed.• The “required” option places the VAP into TKIP only mode. The “supported” option places the VAP into TKIP+AES+WEP mode. The “required” mode is used in WPA-only environments. • The “supported” mode can be used for mixed environments with legacy WPA products, specifically WEP. (For example, WPA+WEP. The WPA2+WEP environment is not available because WPA2 does not support WEP). To place the VAP into AES only mode, use “required” and then select the “cipher-ccmp” option for the cipher-suite command.

Syntaxmulticast-cipher <aes-ccmp | tkip | wep>•aes-ccmp - Use AES-CCMP encryption for the unicast and multicast cipher.•tkip - Use TKIP encryption for the multicast cipher. TKIP or AES-CCMP can be used for the unicast cipher depending on the capability of the client. •wep - Use WEP encryption for the multicast cipher. TKIP or AES-CCMP can be used for the unicast cipher depending on the capability of the client. Default Setting wepCommand Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless-VAP)Command Usage • WPA enables the AP to support different unicast encryption keys for each client. However, the global encryption key for multicast and broadcast traffic must be the same for all clients.• If any clients supported by the AP are not WPA enabled, the multicast-cipher algorithm must be set to WEP.• WEP is the first generation security protocol used to encrypt data crossing the wireless medium using a fairly short key. Communicating devices must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt radio signals. WEP has many security flaws, and is not recommended for transmitting highly sensitive data.• TKIP provides data encryption enhancements including per-packet key hashing (i.e., changing the encryption key on each packet), a message integrity check, an extended initialization vector with sequencing rules, and a re-keying mechanism. Select TKIP if  there are clients in the network that  are not WPA2 compliant.• TKIP defends against attacks on WEP in which the unencrypted initialization vector in encrypted packets is used to calculate the WEP key. TKIP changes the encryption key on each packet, and rotates not just the unicast keys, but the broadcast keys as well. TKIP is a replacement for WEP that removes the predictability that intruders relied on to determine the WEP key. • AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol): WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA, including the same 802.1X and PSK modes of operation and support for TKIP encryption. The main enhancement is its use of AES Counter-Mode encryption with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) for message integrity. The AES Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) provides extremely robust data confidentiality using a 128-bit key. The AES-CCMP encryption cipher is specified as a standard requirement for WPA2. However, the computational intensive operations of AES-CCMP requires hardware support on client devices. Therefore to implement WPA2 in the network, wireless clients must be upgraded to WPA2-compliant hardware.Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#transmit-key 2Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#

The MIC calculation is performed in the AP for each transmitted packet and this can impact throughput and performance. The AP supports a choice of hardware or software for MIC calculation. The performance of the AP can be improved by selecting the best method for the specific deployment. • Using the “hardware” option provides best performance when the number of supported clients is less than 27. • Using the “software” option provides the best performance for a large number of clients on one radio interface. Throughput may be reduced when the 802.11g interface supports a high number of clients simultaneously.Example 5.20.7 wpa-pre-shared-key This command defines a WiFi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) Pre-shared-key.Syntaxwpa-pre-shared-key <hex | passphrase-key> <value>•hex - Specifies hexadecimal digits as the key input format.•passphrase-key - Specifies an ASCII pass-phrase string as the key input format.•value - The key string.

(Range: 0 - 14400 minutes)Default Setting 720 minutesCommand Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless-VAP)Command Usage • WPA2 provides fast roaming for authenticated clients by retaining keys and other security information in a cache, so that if a client roams away from an AP and then returns reauthentication is not required. • When a WPA2 client is first authenticated, it receives a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) that is used to generate other keys for unicast data encryption. This key and other client information form a Security Association that the AP names and holds in a cache. The lifetime of this security association can be configured with this command. When the lifetime expires, the client security association and keys are deleted from the cache. If the client returns to the AP, it requires full reauthentication.• The AP can store up to 256 entries in the PMKSA cache.

Wireless Security CommandsBreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual  237Default Setting DisabledCommand Mode Interface Configuration (Wireless-VAP)Command Usage • Each time a client roams to another AP it has to be fully re-authenticated. This authentication process is time consuming and can disrupt applications running over the network. WPA2 includes a mechanism, known as pre-authentication, that allows clients to roam to a new AP and be quickly associated. The first time a client is authenticated to a wireless network it has to be fully authenticated. When the client is about to roam to another AP in the network, the AP sends pre-authentication messages to the new AP that include the client’s security association information. Then when the client sends an association request to the new AP, the client is known to be already authenticated, so it proceeds directly to key exchange and association.• To support pre-authentication, both clients and APs in the network must be WPA2 enabled.• Pre-authentication requires all APs in the network to be on the same IP subnet.Example Enterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#wpa-pre-shared-key ASCII agoodsecretEnterprise AP(if-wireless g: VAP[0])#

These categories correspond to traffic priority levels and are mapped to IEEE 802.1D priority tags (see Table 4-5). The direct mapping of the four ACs to 802.1D priorities is specifically intended to facilitate interpretability with other wired network QoS policies. While the four ACs are specified for specific types of traffic, WMM allows the priority levels to be configured to match any network-wide QoS policy. WMM also specifies a protocol that APs can use to communicate the configured traffic priority levels to QoS-enabled wireless clients.• Although turning off the requirement for the sender to wait for an acknowledgement can increases data throughput, it can also result in a high number of errors when traffic levels are heavy.Example5.24.3 wmmparamThis command configures detailed WMM parameters that apply to the AP (AP) or the wireless clients (BSS).Syntaxwmmparam <AP | BSS> <ac_number> <LogCwMin> <LogCwMax> <AIFS> <TxOpLimit> <admission_control>•AP - Access Point •BSS - Wireless client •ac_number - Access categories (ACs) – voice, video, best effort, and background. These categories correspond to traffic priority levels and are mapped to IEEE 802.1D priority tags as shown in Table 4-5. (Range: 0-3) •LogCwMin - Minimum log value of the contention window. This is the initial upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The initial wait time is a random value between zero and the LogCwMin value. Specify the LogCwMin value. Note that the LogCwMin value must be equal or less than the LogCwMax value. (Range: 1-15 microseconds) •LogCwMax - Maximum log value of the contention window. This is the maximum upper limit of the random backoff wait time before wireless medium access can be attempted. The contention window is doubled after each detected collision up to the LogCwMax value. Note that the CWMax value must be greater or equal to the LogCwMin value. (Range: 1-15 microseconds) •AIFS - Arbitrary InterFrame Space specifies the minimum amount of wait time before the next data transmission attempt. (Range: 1-15 microseconds) •TXOPLimit - Transmission Opportunity  Limit specifies the maximum time an AC transmit queue has access to the wireless medium. When an AC queue is granted a transmit opportunity, it can transmit data for a time up to the TxOpLimit.

A Appendix A - TroubleshootingIn This Chapter:This appendix provides a lists of things to check in case of problems before contacting local Technical Support.
250 BreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System ManualAppendix  - Check the following before you contact local Technical Support.1If wireless clients cannot access the network, check the following:Be sure the AP and the wireless clients are configured with the same Service Set ID (SSID).If authentication or encryption are enabled, ensure that the wireless clients are properly configured with the appropriate authentication or encryption keys.If authentication is being performed through a RADIUS server, ensure that the clients are properly configured on the RADIUS server.If authentication is being performed through IEEE 802.1X, be sure the wireless users have installed and properly configured 802.1X client software.If MAC address filtering is enabled, be sure the client’s address is included in the local filtering database or on the RADIUS server database.If the wireless clients are roaming between access points, make sure that all the access points and wireless devices in the Extended Service Set (ESS) are configured to the same SSID, and authentication method.2If the AP cannot be configured using the Telnet, a web browser, or SNMP software:Be sure that the AP has been configured with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.If VLANs are enabled on the AP, the management station should be configured to send tagged frames with a VLAN ID that matches the AP’s management VLAN (default VLAN 1, page 60). However, to manage the AP from a wireless client, the AP Management Filter should be disabled (page 57). Check that you have a valid network connection to the AP and that the Ethernet port or the wireless interface that you are using has not been disabled.If you are connecting to the AP through the wired Ethernet interface, check the network cabling between the management station and the access point. If you are connecting to AP from a wireless client, ensure that you have a valid connection to the AP.
BreezeMAX Wi² and BreezeACCESS Wi² System Manual 251If you cannot connect using Telnet, you may have exceeded the maximum number of concurrent Telnet sessions permitted (i.e, four sessions). Try connecting again at a later time. 3If you cannot access the on-board configuration program via a serial port connection:Be sure you have set the terminal emulator program to VT100 compatible, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and 9600 bps. 4If you forgot or lost the password:Set the AP to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back panel for 5 seconds or more. Then use the default user name admin and a null password to access the management interface.5If all other recovery measure fail, and the AP is still not functioning properly, take one of the following steps:Reset the AP’s hardware using the console interface, web interface, or through a power reset.Reset the AP to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back panel for 5 seconds or more. Then use the default user name admin and a null password to access the management interface.
