Step 5: STA : Create run_supplicant.conf

Step 5: AP : Create run_hostapd.conf

Note

ssid in /tmp/run_supplicant.conf should match ssid in /tmp/run_hostapd.conf

Note

ssid in /tmp/run_hostapd.conf should be used by clients while connecting to AP

$ vim /tmp/run_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/tmp/wpa_supplicant

network={
	ssid="test_owe"
	key_mgmt=OWE
	pairwise=CCMP
}
$ vim /tmp/run_hostapd.conf

macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=OWE
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
group_cipher=CCMP

Step 6: STA : Run wpa_supplicant

Step 6: AP : Run hostapd

Note

CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED indicates successful connection to AP

Note

AP-STA-CONNECTED indicates successful connection of STA

$ /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -i wlan0 -c /tmp/run_supplicant.conf &

Step 7: STA : Check ps status and confirm wpa_supplicant process is running

Step 7: AP : Check ps status and confirm hostapd process is running

$ ps | grep -i wpa
 3852 root      4372 S    /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -i wlan0 -c /tmp/run_supplicant

Step 10: STA : Assign Static IP address

Step 10: AP : Assign Static IP address

Note

Station and AP should be in same IP subnet. Assign 192.168.3.10 to Station

Note

Station and AP should be in same IP subnet. Assign 192.168.3.1 to AP

Attention

Use static IP assignment if DHCP server is not supported by AP

Attention

Use static IP assignment if DHCP server is not supported by AP

$ ifconfig wlan0 192.168.3.10 up

Step 11: STA : Assign DHCP IP address

Step 11: AP : Assign DHCP IP address

Attention

This initiates DORA. Make sure DHCP server is running in AP !

Attention

odhcpd and dnsmasq needs to be installed to setup DHCP server

Note

udhcpc is DHCP client

Note

See below ! Add configuration in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

Note

udhcpc -i wlan0 gets IP address from DHCP server

Note

See below ! Add configuration in /etc/default/odhcpd and dnsmasq

# Release any existing IP address

$ ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 up

# Run DHCP client on wlan0. This initiates DORA

$ udhcpc -i wlan0

# Check if wlan0 got IP address

$ ifconfig wlan0


Step 12: STA : Ping AP

Step 12: AP : Ping STA

Note

192.168.3.1 is IP address of Access Point

Note

192.168.3.10 is IP address of Station
