Figure 45 WPA(2)-PSK Authentication

6.12 WPA(2) with RADIUS Application Example

You need the IP address of the RADIUS server, its port number (default is 1812), and the

RADIUS shared secret. A WPA(2) application example with an external RADIUS server

looks as follows. “A” is the RADIUS server. “DS” is the distribution system.

1 The AP passes the wireless client’s authentication request to the RADIUS server.

2 The RADIUS server then checks the user's identification against its database and grants

or denies network access accordingly.

3 The RADIUS server distributes a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) key to the AP that then

sets up a key hierarchy and management system, using the pair-wise key to dynamically

generate unique data encryption keys to encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly

communicated between the AP and the wireless clients.
