PSK-Based and Certificate-Based Authentication
On the DHCP server, two formats for option 43 are supported:
●
<organization>,<ams-ip>,<ams-key>
If you select this format, the AP authenticates the AMP server using the Pre-Shared Key
(PSK) login process.
●
<organization>,<ams-domain>
If you select this format, the AP resolves the AirWave domain name into one or two IP
addresses as AirWave Primary or AirWave Backup, and then AP starts a certificate-
based authentication with AMP server, instead of the PSK login. When the AMP domain
name is used, the AP performs certificate-based authentication with the AMP server. The
AP initiates a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection with the AirWave server. The
AirWave server verifies the signature and public key certificate from the AP. If the
signature matches, the AirWave responds to the AP with the login request.
Configurable Port for AP and AirWave Management Server Communication
You can now customize the port number of the AMP server through the
server_host:server_port format, for example, amp.siemens.com:4343.
The following example shows how to configure the port number of the AMP server:
24:de:c6:cf:63:60 (config) # ams-ip 10.65.182.15:65535
24:de:c6:cf:63:60 (config) # end
