WPA3-PSK (Static Key)

CATEGORY : Authentication

Purpose / Use Case : Enhanced security with SAE (forward secrecy).

 

BREAKDOWN:

  • WPA3: A security protocol that protects wireless networks by encrypting data. It is more secure than WPA2.
  • PSK (Pre-Shared Key): A password (static key) that is shared between the router and clients.
  • Static Key: A single key that is manually configured on all devices. It remains the same unless you change it yourself.


How to configure :

Step 1: Create a WLAN for broadcasting the SSID. Enter the WLAN name and SSID name. Attach the appropriate network interface that was created for the AP. Select WPA3 for security. Configure a password that clients/users must enter to connect to the SSID.

Step 2: Save and apply the configuration.

Step 3: Ensure the WLAN is active and broadcasting.

 

 

 

Step 4: Connect a client/user device to the configured SSID using the same password defined during setup.

 

Step 5: Verify client connectivity.

  • Check connected client details in the cloud controller.

 

 

Step 6: Review client logs.

  • Navigate to Audit Log > Appliance Log.
  • Select the device MAC address and check the WPA log.
