Use the no form of the SSID commands to disable the SSID or to disable SSID features.
This example sets the authentication type for the SSID bridgeman to open with EAP authentication.
Bridges using the bridgeman SSID attempt EAP authentication using a server named adam.
bridge# configure terminal
bridge(config)# configure interface dot11radio 0
bridge(config-if)# ssid bridgeman
bridge(config-ssid)# authentication open eap adam
bridge(config-ssid)# end
The configuration on non-root bridges associated to this bridge would also contain these commands:
bridge(config)# configure interface dot11radio 0
bridge(config-if)# ssid bridgeman
bridge(config-ssid)# authentication client username bridge7 password catch22

Purpose
(Optional) Set the authentication type to open for this SSID.
Open authentication allows any bridge to authenticate and then
attempt to communicate with the bridge.
(Optional) Set the SSID's authentication type to open with
•
EAP authentication. The bridge forces all other bridges to
perform EAP authentication before they are allowed to join
the network. For list-name, specify the authentication
method list.
Note
A bridge configured for EAP authentication forces all
bridges that associate to perform EAP authentication.
Bridges that do not use EAP cannot communicate with
the bridge.
(Optional) Set the authentication type for the SSID to shared
key.
Because of shared key's security flaws, Cisco
Note
recommends that you avoid using it.
(Optional) Set the SSID's authentication type to shared key
•
with EAP authentication. For list-name, specify the
authentication method list.
(Optional) Set the authentication type for the SSID to
Network-EAP. Using the Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP) to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, the
bridge helps a non-root bridge and the RADIUS server to
perform mutual authentication and derive a dynamic unicast
WEP key. However, the bridge does not force all non-root
bridges to perform EAP authentication.
