FortiAP Management – Support for WPA3 on FAP

Support for WPA3 on FAP

This feature is implemented on FortiOS 6.2.0 B0816 and FAP-S/W2 6.2.0 b0218. In October 2017, Mathy Vanhoef published a document that exposed a flaw in WPA2 networks known as Key Reinstallation Attack (KRACK). To avoid the attack, the Wi-Fi Alliance announced in January that WPA2 enhancements and a new WPA3 standard were coming in 2018.

The Wi-Fi Alliance defines three areas for improvement:

  • Enhanced Open: The Wi-Fi Alliance proposes using Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) (RFC 8110)to improve security in such networks.
  • WPA3 Personal: WPA3-Personal utilizes Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE). l WPA3 Enterprise: WPA3-Enterprise contains a new 192-bit security level.

All three areas incorporate Protected Management Frames (PMF) as a prerequisite to protect management frame integrity.

Configuration

  1. WPA3 OWE
    1. WPA3 OWE only: only Client which support WPA3 can connect with this SSID.

config wireless-controller vap

edit “80e_owe”

set ssid “80e_owe” set security owe set pmf enable set schedule “always”

next end

  1. WPA3 OWE TRANSITION: Client connected with normal OPEN or OWE depends on its capability. If client can support WPA3, it will connect with owe standard. If client not support WPA3, it will connect with Open SSID.

config wireless-controller vap

edit “80e_open” set ssid “80e_open” set security open set owe-transition enable set owe-transition-ssid “wpa3_open” set schedule “always” next edit “wpa3_owe_tr” set ssid “wpa3_open” set broadcast-ssid disable set security owe set pmf enable set owe-transition enable set owe-transition-ssid “80e_open” set schedule “always” next

  1. WPA3 SAE
  2. WPA3 SAE: Client with WPA3 support can connect with the SSID.

config wireless-controller vap

edit “80e_sae” set ssid “80e_sae” set security wpa3-sae set pmf enable set schedule “always” set sae-password 12345678

next end

  1. WPA3 SAE TRANSITION: There are two passwords in the SSID. Client will connect with WPA2 PSK if passphrase is used. Client will connect with WPA3 SAE if sae-password is used.

config wireless-controller vap

edit “80e_sae-tr” set ssid “80e_sae-transition” set security wpa3-sae-transition

set pmf optional set passphrase 11111111 set schedule “always” set sae-password 22222222

next end

  1. WPA3 Enterprise: When select security as wpa3-enterprise, the auth type can choose either radius authentication or local user authentication.

config wireless-controller vap edit “80e_wpa3” set ssid “80e_wpa3” set security wpa3-enterprise

set pmf enable set auth radius

set radius-server “wifi-radius” set schedule “always” next

edit “80e_wpa3_user” set ssid “80e_wpa3_user” set security wpa3-enterprise

set pmf enable set auth usergroup set usergroup “usergroup” set schedule “always”

FortiAP Management – Deploying WPA2-Personal SSID to FortiAP units

Deploying WPA2-Personal SSID to FortiAP units

The guide provides simple configuration instructions for developing WPA2-Personal SSID with FortiAP. The steps include creating an SSID, selecting the SSID for the FortiAP, and creating a policy from the SSID to the Internet.

The following shows a simple network topology for this recipe:

To deploy WPA2-Personal SSID to FortiAP units on the FortiOS GUI:

  1. Create a WPA2-Personal SSID:
    1. Go to WiFi & Switch Controller> SSID, 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, enter the password. The password must be 8 to 63 characters long, or exactly 64 academical digits.
    6. 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: Select the SSID by editing the FortiAP:
  3. Go to WiFi & Switch Controller> Managed FortiAPs. Select the FortiAP-320C and click Edit. ii. Ensure that Managed AP Status is Connected.

  2. Go to Policy & Objects > IPv4 Policy, then click Create New.
  3. Enter the desired policy name.
  4. From the Incoming Interface dropdown list, select the source interface, such as wifi-vap.
  5. From the Outgoing Interface dropdown list, select the destination interface, such as wan1.
  6. In the Source and Destination fields, select all. In the Service field, select ALL. If desired, you can configure different values for these fields.
  7. Click OK.

To deploy WPA2-Personal SSID to FortiAP units using the FortiOS CLI:

  1. Create a WPA2-Personal SSID:
  2. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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
