Wi-Fi Configurean open Wi-Fi accesspoint
IX20 User Guide
325
4. Set the SSIDfor the Wi-Fi access point. Up to 32 characters are allowed.
(config network wifi ap new_AP)> ssid my_SSID
(config network wifi ap new_AP)>
SSID broadcasting is enabled by default for new access points.
5. Set the security for the accesspoint to an open security method:
(config network wifi ap new_AP)> encryption type value
(config network wifi ap new_AP)>
where value is either:
n
none: No encryption is used.
n
owe: UsesWPA3 Enhanced Open, which uses Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE)
technology to provide encryption for Wi-Fi networks that do not use password
protection.
Note Only select owe if you know that all Wi-Fi clients connecting to this device will
haveWPA3 capabilities.
6. (Optional) Determine whether to prevent clientsthat are connected to this accesspoint from
communicating with each other:
(config)> network wifi ap digi_ap isolate_clients true
(config)>
See Isolate Wi-Fi clients for information about how to prevent clients connected to different
access points from communicating with each other.
7. (Optional) Set the amount of time to wait before changing the group key.
The group key is shared by all in clients of the accesspoint, and after a client has
disconnected, it will be able to use the group key to decrypt broadcast packets until the key is
changed.
(config network wifi ap new_AP)> encryption group_rekey value
(config network wifi ap new_AP)>
where value is any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and takes the format number
{d|h|m|s}.
For example, to set group rekey interval to ten minutes, enter either 10m or 600s:
(config network wireless ap new_AP)> encryption group_rekey 600s
(config network wireless ap new_AP)>
Increasing the time between rekeys can improve connectivity issuesin noisy environments. To
disable group rekeys, set to 0. This will allow any client that has previously connected to see
all broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10
minutes.
1. Assign the Wi-Fi accesspoint to a LAN interface or to a bridge. See Configure a Local Area
Network (LAN) and Configure a bridge for more information.
