Enabling an authentication method
You can enable open system or shared key authentication or both.
To enable an authentication method:
Step Command Remarks

Optional.
By default, open system
authentication is adopted.
• The shared-key
authentication can be
adopted only when WEP
encryption is used, and you
must configure the
authentication-method
shared-key command.
• For RSN and WPA, the
authentication method must
be open system
authentication.
Configuring the PTK lifetime
A pairwise transient key (PTK) is generated through a four-way handshake, during which, the
pairwise master key (PMK), an AP random value (ANonce), a site random value (SNonce), the AP’s
MAC address and the client’s MAC address are used.
