Configure by CLI, wi-fi in fortiwifi 60D

Hello

 

Please, can you give me an example about the configuration of Wi-fi by CLI in Fortiwifi 60D with wpa2?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Luis,

What firmware version are you running?  In 5.2.x, wpa2 (AES) is the default, so you really only need to add the name of the wireless interface, your SSID, and your password.

 

(this is the default code for an out-of-the-box 5.2.x, with the SSID line changed).

 

config wireless-controller vap

    edit "wifi"

        set vdom "root"

        set ssid "SSIDNameHere"

        set passphrase ENC mxdSX1C9IVVKmGMBqV+k3C5cQXT6Bzfh+NtWP6pBG6zwEQOnSoangyqfSJdBKVqK9apt9ymAObv3Uy1TuRa0JkuXCBI2bULyDXVdCjVMwuuiXWky8XXCq5OrM7UBR1lh/iKb3zUhFYEibZis2m0ZsjN/Y+fD7gssQo0XbQMJtkAjzC9BMVKXP+xgyl597ZQwRe9cdg==

    next

end

 

In earlier versions you would need to set additional lines such as;

     set security wpa2-only-personal

     set encrypt AES

 

You can type your passphrase in the CLi in plaintext, omitting the ENC, and it will encrypt it for you afterwards

e.g. set passphrase ThisIsMyUnsecureWirelessPassphrase

 

it will save that line as

set passphrase ENC mxdSX1bnrUCoHgRPexacifVpWDwrYqmCcPj+B69rYJuCwvgsG6dMAzRI+YEeh6sgzIGoLIKAkjYdgTerW8Q7yaehQc0/PUehFMKrB4pXSQubvv49Q+IWZiYqNmLvrjGchxeKSB1yty6/MnqVnprjfaQ1FCAxzzqf6h+1l16VsfiSJxf1xh4k0CeuhuwZgbp/gviqRQ==

Hi  ShrewLWD

 

It is a FortiGate 5.2.2,build0642 (GA)

 

Can be this an example?:

 

config wireless-controller vap    edit "wifi"        set vdom "root-0"        set ssid "SSID-examp"        set passphrase example1    nextend

 

Acoording your explanation, it is wpa2, right?

 

Regards!

Yes, that is correct.  You can always double check yourself by doing;

config wireless-controller vap   

edit "wifi"

show full

 

It will then show you all the possible settings options, and their defaults.

 

Those two lines should read;

     set security wpa2-only-personal      set encrypt AES
