Configure WPA entreprise on a Linksys wireless access point

WPA enterprise configuration with radius authentication

This tutorial describes how to configure WPA entreprise WIFI authentication on a LinksysTM WRT300N wireless router in Packet Tracer 7.2.1

Linksys WRT300N : 192.168.1.1/24

RADIUS Server : 192.168.1.2/24

Laptop : 192.168.1.3/24

Tip : For security reasons, it is highly recommended to secure the RADIUS server behind a router (using ACL) or a firewall in production networks.

Configuration steps

  1. Add a Linksys AP and configure it's IP address to 192.168.1.1 (netmask 255.255.255.0)
  2. Add a Server-PT device and configure it's IP address to 192.168.1.2 (netmask 255.255.255.0)
  3. On the Server configuration page, configure the AAA Service with the following settings :
    1. Client Name : Linksys (Chose a name. Doesn't need to match AP name)
    2. Client IP : IP address of the Linksys AP
    3. Client password : A shared secret with the AP (here : deltapassword)
    4. Create a new user (name : user1 - Password : test)
  4. Configure the wireless settings of the Linksys AP like in the screenshot above (WPA TKIP / Radius server IP / Shared secret)
  5. Add a laptop device and configure it with a PT-LAPTOP-NM-1W module (Drag and drop to replaces the original ethernet module)
  6. Configure the wireless settings of the laptop like in the screenshot above (WPA TKIP / User ID, Password)
  7. The connection should establish between the laptop and the AP.
