Wireless: WIFI is not password protected when security wpa mode is not defined but passphrase is
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

When the following is configured:

vyos@vyos# show interfaces wireless
 wireless wlan0 {
     channel 0
     hw-id 04:c0:01:00:00:01
     physical-device phy0
     security {
         wpa {
             passphrase VyOS-WIFI-123
         }
     }
     ssid VyOS-WIFI
     type access-point
 }

VyOS will have an "open" WIFI with SSID VyOS-WIFI. In order to protect the WiFi one must explicitly set: set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa mode <wpa|wpa2|both>

The default in VyOS 1.2 is "both"
