 Hello and welcome to this video titled,
 Configuring WPA2 with Pre-Shared

0:00:07.720000 --> 0:00:11.300000
 Key on Autonomous Access Points.

0:00:11.300000 --> 0:00:15.180000
 That is the one and only thing I'm going
 to be talking about in this video.

0:00:15.180000 --> 0:00:21.820000
 So let's just start out with WPA2 Configuration,
 Autonomous or Controller.

0:00:21.820000 --> 0:00:25.760000
 So we know that when you create a wireless
 LAN and you add security to

0:00:25.760000 --> 0:00:27.520000
 it, you've got two options.

0:00:27.520000 --> 0:00:31.080000
 You can do that on a standalone
 or autonomous access point.

0:00:31.080000 --> 0:00:34.420000
 Sometimes that's called
 a managed access point.

0:00:34.420000 --> 0:00:38.500000
 That means an access point that has
 its own GUI or its own command line,

0:00:38.500000 --> 0:00:40.200000
 and you control it.

0:00:40.200000 --> 0:00:44.120000
 So you log into it directly, you log
 into the GUI or whatever, and you

0:00:44.120000 --> 0:00:45.320000
 configure that access point.

0:00:45.320000 --> 0:00:48.760000
 If you've got 50 of those things, you
 have to do each one of them, one

0:00:48.760000 --> 0:00:51.460000
 at a time separately.

0:00:51.460000 --> 0:00:56.700000
 Or you can configure your wireless LANs
 and your security via unmanaged

0:00:56.700000 --> 0:01:00.400000
 access points, which are
 managed via a controller.

0:01:00.400000 --> 0:01:04.800000
 So let's start with configuring WPA2
 with Pre-Shared Key on an autonomous,

0:01:04.800000 --> 0:01:07.840000
 otherwise known as a standalone
 access point.

0:01:07.840000 --> 0:01:12.100000
 All right, so there's really just
 four or five steps involved here.

0:01:12.100000 --> 0:01:15.780000
 Every access point has a different
 GUI or a different command line, so

0:01:15.780000 --> 0:01:20.300000
 years will probably look different,
 but the main high level step should

0:01:20.300000 --> 0:01:24.760000
 be similar. So number one, you're going
 to want to log into the GUI of

0:01:24.760000 --> 0:01:26.120000
 whatever access point you have.

0:01:26.120000 --> 0:01:29.980000
 So this will clearly involve you knowing
 what the IP address is, and having

0:01:29.980000 --> 0:01:32.940000
 accessibility to that IP address.

0:01:32.940000 --> 0:01:39.720000
 Then we're assuming that we're configuring
 WPA2 on a pre-existing SSID.

0:01:39.720000 --> 0:01:42.160000
 So this is a wireless LAN
 you've already created.

0:01:42.160000 --> 0:01:46.380000
 So somewhere in the GUI, you're
 going to want to find that SSID.

0:01:46.380000 --> 0:01:50.300000
 Like in this one, it's the networks option
 under the system configuration

0:01:50.300000 --> 0:01:54.480000
 section. For you, it might be something
 a little bit different.

0:01:54.480000 --> 0:02:00.980000
 Then within that SSID, you're going
 to want to look for the security or

0:02:00.980000 --> 0:02:04.720000
 encryption section, and it should be
 somewhere pretty plainly visible

0:02:04.720000 --> 0:02:12.220000
 in there, and you should have options like
 WEP, WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise.

0:02:12.220000 --> 0:02:15.860000
 This video, we're talking about WPA
 Personal with Pre-Shared Key.

0:02:15.860000 --> 0:02:18.200000
 So here we would select
 WPA Personal.

0:02:18.200000 --> 0:02:23.200000
 It might also display
 as PSK or Pre-Share.

0:02:23.200000 --> 0:02:25.260000
 That all means the same thing.

0:02:25.260000 --> 0:02:29.460000
 Now in this case, it's WPA.

0:02:29.460000 --> 0:02:36.420000
 If you have a choice between WPA or
 WPA2, you'll want to select WPA2.

0:02:36.420000 --> 0:02:41.160000
 And then, because we're doing Pre-Shared
 Key, we have to type in our key.

0:02:41.160000 --> 0:02:45.160000
 So first thing you're going to want
 to select, after selecting WPA2 Pre

0:02:45.160000 --> 0:02:50.200000
-Share, you might be given a choice of
 two different encryption options,

0:02:50.200000 --> 0:02:53.900000
 either T-Kip or AES.

0:02:53.900000 --> 0:02:58.480000
 There's been enough time that's gone
 by now since WPA2 has come out.

0:02:58.480000 --> 0:03:01.200000
 I mean, after all, it's been
 a good 10 years or more.

0:03:01.200000 --> 0:03:05.340000
 That pretty much all devices should
 support AES at this point.

0:03:05.340000 --> 0:03:08.900000
 So there's really not much
 of a need to support T-Kip.

0:03:08.900000 --> 0:03:13.500000
 So I would recommend that you
 just select WPA2 with AES.

0:03:13.500000 --> 0:03:17.060000
 And then somewhere in your GUI, you're
 going to have the opportunity to

0:03:17.060000 --> 0:03:20.860000
 type in your passphrase.

0:03:20.860000 --> 0:03:28.440000
 And that is it. Once you select OK or
 Save, then your access point should

0:03:28.440000 --> 0:03:33.020000
 be saved. And now that wireless LAN should
 be using WPA2 with the correct

0:03:33.020000 --> 0:03:37.740000
 encryption cipher and with
 the correct Pre-Shared Key.

0:03:37.740000 --> 0:03:39.800000
 So that's it for this video.

0:03:39.800000 --> 0:03:40.640000
 Thank you for watching.
