Setting Up a Repeater As a WPA Client
WPA key management uses a combination of encryption methods to protect communication between
client devices and the access point. You can set up a repeater access point to authenticate to your network
like other WPA-enabled client devices.
Beginning in Privileged Exec mode, follow these steps to set up the repeater as a WPA client:
Step 6
infrastructure ssid [optional] (Optional) Designate the SSID as the SSID that other access
points and workgroup bridges use to associate to this access
point. If you do not designate an SSID as the infrastructure SSID,
infrastructure devices can associate to the access point using any
SSID. If you designate an SSID as the infrastructure SSID,
infrastructure devices must associate to the access point using
that SSID unless you also enter the optional keyword.
Step 7
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 8
copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface dot11radio { 0 | 1 } Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
The 2.4-GHz radio and the 2.4-GHz 802.11n radio is 0.
The 5-GHz radio and the 5-GHz 802.11n radio is 1.
Step 3
ssid ssid-string Create an SSID and enter SSID configuration mode for the new
SSID. The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
SSIDs are case sensitive.
Step 4
authentication open Enable open authentication for the SSID.
Step 5
authentication key-management
wpa
Enable WPA authenticated key management for the SSID.
Step 6
infrastructure ssid Designate the SSID as the SSID that the repeater uses to associate
to other access points.
Step 7
wpa-psk { hex | ascii } [ 0 | 7 ]
encryption-key
Enter a pre-shared key for the repeater.
Enter the key using either hexadecimal or ASCII characters. If
you use hexadecimal, you must enter 64 hexadecimal characters
to complete the 256-bit key. If you use ASCII, you must enter
from 8 to 63 ASCII characters, and the access point expands the
key for you.
Step 8
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 9
copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
