Disabling CPSEC on AP group

  • 1.  Disabling CPSEC on AP group

    Posted Mar 09, 2012 05:21 AM

    Hi,

    On my controller I have 2 different types of connected APs.

    1. APS with 802.1x ssid in bridge mode

    2. Mesh portal/points with guest portal in tunnel mode

     

    In the OS I am using when I tried to put the APS in group 1 to bridge mode I got a warning that I had to enable cpsec to do so. As this is a global command also the mesh APS in group 2 are forced to do cpsec.

     

    Question 1: I am using only internal lan links here so I don't want to use cpsec at all. Is there a way to use bridge ssids without cpsec ?

    Question 2: Can I disable CPSEC on the mesh AP group  to save bandwidth on the mesh link ?

     

    regards

    Oliver

    CPSEC is global, so if you enable it, it will enable it for all devices.  Enabling CPSEC can can cause your APs to be down for at least a few minutes while they get certificates, but when you do, it is done.  Make sure auto cert provisioning is on.  

     

    You can make a Virtual AP bridged or an ethernet port bridged by provisioning an access point as a Remote AP, without turning on CPSEC.

     

    Turning on CPSEC does not save bandwidth on mesh links.
