|
Support for configuring WPA3-SAE security mode on client mode FortiWiFi using the CLI was added in FortiOS 7.4.0. FortiOS 7.4.2 adds GUI support. For more information, see Support for WPA3 security modes on FortiWiFi units operating in Client Mode. |
This release adds GUI support when selecting WPA3-SAE and OWE security modes on FortiWiFi units operating in wireless client mode. When the local radio of a FortiWiFi 8xF/6xF/40F model is operating in client mode, it can connect with third-party SSIDs with a WPA3-SAE or OWE security mode.
To configure WPA3 security mode SSID on a FortiWiFi running in client mode - GUI:
-
Go to WiFi and Switch Controller > Local WiFi Radio and change the Mode to Wireless Client.
Note: You must remove any AP WiFi configurations such as SSIDs, DHCP servers, policies, and software switch members before you can change the mode to Wireless Client. Once you select Wireless Client, the FortiWiFi unit will reboot.
- Click Add Network.
- In SSID, enter the name of the SSID you want to use.
-
In Security mode, select WPA3 SAE or Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE).
- If you selected WAP3 SAE, enter a Passphrase.
- When you are finished, click OK.
