Example JSON for Wireless

The following examples show configurations for wireless interfaces with DHCP and various authentication methods. These can be used with the POST /interface/ Monitoring Point API endpoint. Also, note that:

  • For each example, all fields except the last require a comma at the end. The last field must not have a comma.
  • For certificate and key file names, you only have to specify the file name, not the path.
  • For any of the examples below, include “wpa_scan_ssid”: “1” when connecting to an access point that does not broadcast its SSID.

WEP

{
   "method": "dhcp",
   "name": "wlan0",
   "wpa_key_mgmt": "NONE",
   "wpa_ssid": "<wireless ssid>",
   "wpa_wep_key0": "<wireless key>",
   "wpa_wep_tx_keyidx": "0"
}

WPA-PSK

{
  "method": "dhcp",
  "name": "wlan0",
  "wpa_key_mgmt": "WPA-PSK",
  "wpa_psk": "<wpa passphrase>",
  "wpa_ssid": "<wireless ssid>"
}

WPA2 Enterprise (PEAP)

For WPA2 Enterprise, if a private CA certificate is required for authentication, include the following line. Note that all lines except the last have a trailing comma: “wpa_ca_cert”: “<ca cert file>”

{
  "method": "dhcp",
  "name": "wlan0",
  "wpa_ap_scan": "1",
  "wpa_eap": "PEAP",
  "wpa_group": "CCMP",
  "wpa_pairwise": "CCMP",
  "wpa_identity": "<username>",
  "wpa_password": "<password>",
  "wpa_key_mgmt": "WPA-EAP",
  "wpa_phase2": "auth=MSCHAPV2",
  "wpa_proto": "RSN",
  "wpa_ssid": "<wireless ssid>"
}

WPA2 Enterprise (TLS)

{
  "method": "dhcp",
  "name": "wlan0",
  "wpa_ap_scan": "1",
  "wpa_eap": "TLS",
  "wpa_group": "CCMP",
  "wpa_pairwise": "CCMP",
  "wpa_identity": "<username>",
  “wpa_password”: “<password>“,
  "wpa_key_mgmt": "WPA-EAP",
  "wpa_phase2": "auth=MSCHAPV2",
  "wpa_proto": "RSN",
  "wpa_ssid": "<wireless ssid>",
  "wpa_ca_cert": "<ca cert file>",
  "wpa_client_cert": "<client cert file>",
  "wpa_private_key": "<client private key file>",
  "wpa_private_key_passwd": "<client private key password>"
}
