set ap boot-configuration mesh psk-phrase 371
set ap
boot-configuration
mesh psk-phrase
Specifies a preshared key (PSK) phrase that a Mesh AP uses for
authentication to its Mesh Portal AP.
Syntax —
set ap ap-number boot-configuration mesh psk-phrase
passphrase
ap ap-number — Index value that identifies the MAP on the WX.
passphrase — An ASCII string from 8 to 63 characters long. The
string can contain blanks if you use quotation marks at the
beginning and end of the string.
Defaults — None.
Access
— Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 6.0.
Usage — Use this command to configure the preshared key that a
Mesh AP uses to
authenticate to a Mesh Portal AP. You must connect the
MAP to an WX switch and enter this command to configure the MAP for
mesh services prior to deploying the Mesh AP in its final untethered
location.
MSS converts the passphrase into a 256-bit binary number for system use
and a raw hexadecimal key to store in the WX configuration. Neither the
binary number nor the passphrase itself is ever displayed in the
configuration. To use PSK authentication, you must enable it and you also
must enable the WPA IE.
Examples — The following command configures MAP 7 to use
passphrase
“1234567890123<>?=+&% The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy sl” when authenticating with a Mesh Portal AP
WX# set ap 7 boot-configuration mesh psk-phrase
"1234567890123<>?=+&%
success: change accepted.
