Applying the Credentials Profile to an SSID Used For the Uplink
If you have a repeater access point in your wireless network and are using the 802.1X supplicant on the
root access point, you must apply the 802.1X supplicant credentials to the SSID the repeater uses to
associate with and authenticate to the root access point.
Beginning in the privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to apply the credentials to an SSID used for
the uplink:
The following example applys the credentials profile test to the ssid testap1 on a repeater access point.
repeater-ap>enable
Password:xxxxxxx
repeater-ap#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CTRL-Z.
repeater-ap(config-if)#dot11 ssid testap1
repeater-ap(config-ssid)#dot1x credentials test
repeater-ap(config-ssid)#end
repeater-ap(config)
