Set the cipher suite you want to use. The options are shown in Table 17.
The following example sets the cipher suite to
Both
:
AT-WA7400# set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-tkip on
AT-WA7400# set bss wlan0bssInternal wpa-cipher-ccmp on
4. Set the Pre-shared Key
The Pre-shared Key is the shared secret key for WPA-PSK. Enter a string 
of at least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters. Following are two 
examples; the first sets the key to “
SeCret!
”, the second sets the key to
“
KeepSecret
.”
Ex 1. AT-WA7400# set interface wlan0 wpa-personal-key "SeCret !"
or
Ex 2. AT-WA7400# set interface wlan0 wpa-personal-key KeepSecret
Note
Shared secret keys can include spaces and special characters if the 
key is placed inside quotation marks as in the first example above. If 
the key is a string of characters with no spaces or special characters 
in it, the quotation marks are not necessary as in the second 
example above.

TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity 
Protocol (TKIP), which is the 
default.
set bss wlan0bssIngernal wpa-cipher-tkip on
set bss wlan0bssIngernal wpa-cipher-ccmp off
CCMP (AES): Counter mode/
CBC-MAC protocol (CCMP) is 
an encryption method for IEEE 
802.11i. that uses the 
Advanced Encryption 
Algorithm (AES).
set bss wlan0bssIngernal wpa-cipher-tkip off
set bss wlan0bssIngernal wpa2-cipher-ccmp on
Both: When the authentication 
algorithm is set to Both, both 
TKIP and AES clients can 
associate with the access 
point. WPA clients must have 
either a valid TKIP key or a 
valid CCMP (AES) key to be 
able to associate with the 
access point.
set bss wlan0bssIngernal wpa-cipher-tkip on
set bss wlan0bssIngernal wpa2-cipher-ccmp on
