Configuring WPA2-Personal security

WPA2-Personal security setup requires a pre-shared key (PSK) that you provide to clients. You can select between creating a single PSK or batch generating multiple pre-shared keys (MPSK). This section provides configuration instructions for deploying WPA2-Personal SSID with FortiAP. The steps include creating an SSID with a PSK, selecting the SSID for the FortiAP, and creating a policy from the SSID to the Internet.

The following shows a simple network topology:

To deploy WPA2-Personal SSID to FortiAP units - GUI:

1. Create a WPA2-Personal SSID:
   1. Go to WiFi and Switch Controller > SSIDs, select SSID, then click Create New.
   2. Enter the desired interface name. For Traffic mode, select Tunnel.
   3. In the Address > IP/Network Mask field, enter the IP address. DHCP Server is enabled by default. You can modify the DHCP IP address range manually.
   4. In the SSID field, enter the desired SSID name. For Security, select WPA2 Personal.
   5. In the Pre-Shared Key field, select Single as the pre-shared key mode.
   6. Enter the password. The password must be 8 to 63 characters long.
   7. Click OK.
2. Select the SSID on a managed FortiAP. The following configuration is based on a example using a managed FortiAP-320C and a "FAP320C-default" profile that is applied to the FortiAP-320C. Do one of the following:
   1. Select the SSID by editing the FortiAP:
      1. Go to WiFi and Switch Controller > Managed FortiAPs. Select the FortiAP-320C and click Edit.
      2. Ensure that Managed AP Status is Connected.
      3. Under WiFi Setting, ensure that the configured FortiAP profile is the desired profile, in this case FAP320C-default. Click Edit entry.
      4. To broadcast the SSID from 2.4 G radio, scroll to Radio 1 > SSIDs. Select Manual, then click + to select the Fortinet-PSK SSID.
      5. To broadcast the SSID from 5 G radio, scroll to Radio 2 > SSIDs. Select Manual, then click + to select the Fortinet-PSK SSID.
      6. Click OK.
   2. Select the SSID by editing the FortiAP profile:
      1. Go to WiFi and Switch Controller > FortiAP Profiles. Select the FAP320C-default profile, then click Edit.
      2. To broadcast the SSID from 2.4 G radio, scroll to Radio 1 > SSIDs. Select Manual, then click + to create the Fortinet-PSK SSID.
      3. To broadcast the SSID from 5 G radio, scroll to Radio 2 > SSIDs. Select Manual, then click + to create the Fortinet-PSK SSID.
      4. Click OK.
3. Create the SSID-to-Internet firewall policy:
   1. Go to Policy & Objects > Firewall Policy, then click Create New.
   2. Enter the desired policy name.
   3. From the Incoming Interface dropdown list, select the source interface, such as wifi-vap.
   4. From the Outgoing Interface dropdown list, select the destination interface, such as wan1.
   5. In the Source and Destination fields, select all. In the Service field, select ALL. If desired, you can configure different values for these fields.
   6. Click OK.

To deploy WPA2-Personal SSID to FortiAP units - CLI:

1. Create a WPA2-Personal SSID:
   1. Create a VAP interface named "wifi-vap":

      config wireless-controller vap

      edit "wifi-vap"

      set ssid "Fortinet-psk"

      set security wpa2-only-personal

      set passphrase "fortinet"

      next

      end

   2. Configure an IP address and enable DHCP:

      config system interface

      edit "wifi-vap"

      set ip 10.10.80.1 255.255.255.0

      next

      end

      config system dhcp server

      edit 1

      set dns-service default

      set default-gateway 10.10.80.1

      set netmask 255.255.255.0

      set interface "wifi-vap"

      config ip-range

      edit 1

      set start-ip 10.10.80.2

      set end-ip 10.10.80.254

      next

      end

      set timezone-option default

      next

      end

2. Select the SSID on a managed FortiAP. The following configuration is based on a example using a managed FortiAP-320C and a "FAP320C-default" profile that is applied to the FortiAP-320C:

   config wireless-controller wtp

   edit "FP320C3X14000640"

   set admin enable

   set wtp-profile "FAP320C-default"

   next

   end

   config wireless-controller wtp-profile

   edit "FAP320C-default"

   config radio-1

   set vap-all disable

   set vaps "wifi-vap"

   end

   config radio-2

   set vap-all disable

   set vaps "wifi-vap"

   end

   next

   end

3. Create the SSID-to-Internet firewall policy:

   config firewall policy

   edit 1

   set name "WiFi to Internet"

   set srcintf "wifi-vap"

   set dstintf "wan1"

   set srcaddr "all"

   set dstaddr "all"

   set action accept

   set schedule "always"

   set service "ALL"

   set fsso disable

   set nat enable

   next

   end
