ap auth-mode

Function

The ap auth-mode command configures the AP authentication mode.

The undo ap auth-mode command restores the default AP authentication mode.

The default AP authentication mode is MAC address authentication. In the CloudCampus Solution scenario, for an AC working in NETCONF mode, the AP authentication mode is SN authentication.

Format

ap auth-mode { mac-auth | no-auth | sn-auth }

undo ap auth-mode

Usage Guidelines

After the ap auth-mode command is executed, the AC authenticates the AP using the configured mode.

The non-authentication mode brings security risks. You are advised to set the authentication mode to MAC address authentication or SN authentication, which is more secure.

Example

# Change the AP authentication mode to MAC address authentication.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] ap auth-mode mac-auth
Warning: The authentication mode is switched to MAC address authentication. Ensu
