Similarly, the encryption algorithm and re-key interval in effect
on the network can be viewed with
show crypto
(sections
6.4.5.1 and 6.4.5.2, respectively).
The Access ID cannot be displayed for security purposes (but it
must match across all network Bridges).
Use the
show network
command on the master/root Bridge to
view its IP address (Section 6.4.1), and the
show sac
command to view the IP addresses of slave/non-root Bridges.
The same switches and arguments used to preconfigure the
network through SAC (as explained in Section 6.8.1) are valid
for reconfiguring the network.
Two additional switches modify the behavior of the SAC
operation itself; these are shown in the third line of input below:
[GW]>
set sac start [-a
[-sa
[-autogen yes|no]
[-allowall yes|no]
NOTE:
As required
for preconfigura-
tion (Section 6.8.1,
above),
-autogen
and
-allowall
default to
yes
when you first invoke
set
sac
start
. The de-
faults of these switches
for subsequent
set
sac
start
invocations is
no
.
When you set automatic generation (
-autogen
) to
yes
, the
set
sac start
command automatically generates any of the SAC-
configurable network settings (as shown in Table 6.1) that you
do not explicitly specify in the command.
After the first invocation of
set sac start
, the
default
-autogen
setting is
no
, which causes only those
network parameters that you specify to be changed from their
current settings.
When you set allow all (
-allowall
) to
yes
, the master/root
Bridge broadcasts the entire set of SAC parameters to any
Fortress Bridge within range of the master/root Bridge. When
-allowall
is set to
no
, the master Bridge sends SAC
parameters to only those Bri7dges on its SAC Peer list.
CAUTION:
Setting
-allowall
to
yes
in an uncontrolled envi-
ronment poses a signifi-
cant security risk.
Fortress recommends that
-allowall
be left at its default
setting of
no
when the
set sac command
is executed in any
uncontrolled environment, particularly in a wireless
environment.
For example, the command below changes the Radio 2 SSID
on all Bridges in the SAC group:
[GW]>
set sac start -sa caisiNET01
[OK] Started SAC process successfully
NOTE:
Whenever
the configuration
changes, the configura-
tion ID (
ConfigID
) also
changes.
After executing
set sac start
, use
show sac
to confirm that
the configuration change is
COMPLETE
for each SAC peer.
[GW]>
