Why doesn't WPA/TKIP work for Unleashed?Customer Environment
Customer running Unleashed 200.6 and can not configure, neither in GUI nor in CLI, WPA/TKIP for clients that support WPA/TKIP only.Resolution
WPA/TKIP is not an option in 200.5 or newer SW versions of Unleashed. The last SW version available where one can still configure WPA/TKIP is in 200.4 SW version. The change is supported in 200.4 only via CLI.Here are 2 examples in 200.4 of configuring WPA, WPA/TKIP and WPA/auto, within the Unleashed master AP:
ruckus(config)# wlan wpa {creates WLAN with wpa as name}
ruckus(config-wlan)# open wpa passphrase 12345678 algorithm TKIP {authentication method type wpa with tkip encryption}
ruckus(config-wlan)# open wpa-mixed passphrase 123456789 algorithm auto {authentication mehtod type wpa-mixed with auto encryption}
To confirm that the TKIP only client has associated successfully:
rkscli: get station wlan0 list all
ADDR AID VLAN CHAN RSSI IDLE CAPS STATE HTCAPS/VHTCAPS ADMITTEDBW
b8:8a:60:c4:83:94 1Y 1 1 85 0 ESS PRIV SHTPRE QOS ERP Normal 0 WPA TKIP TKIP PSK WME
If you configure the WLAN in 200.4 and then upgrade to 200.5+ SW, keep in mind that you won't be able to modify the WLAN once upgraded. After upgrade, you will be able to delete the WLAN, change to WPA2 (or none as authentication), but not modify further the auth. method.
