Basic Cisco wireless setup with Cisco Supportwiki

Cisco recently introduced wiki pages for their support. I've started using it as one more resource for research and general information. One link that I recently used was to setup basic wireless security for Cisco Access Point.

The instructions were fairly simple, but they got the job done. The instructions were as follows

To configure Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) on a Cisco Access Point (AP) without an authentication server, configure the AP with a pre-share key (WPA-PSK).

To configure the WPA-PSK, perform these steps using the GUI interface:

1. In the Encryption Manager window, select cipher TKIP and click Apply.
2. In the Service Set Identifier (SSID) Manager window, perform these steps:

1. Create an SSID.
2. Select Open Authentication.
3. Set the Key Management to Mandatory.
4. Check the WPA box.
5. Enter a WPA-PSK and click Apply.
