Configuring the Module

Step 1–WiMAX Scan-list Configuration

To create a scan-list, issue the following commands:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# wimax scan-list aaa

Router(config-scan-list)#channel index 1 frequency 2350000 bandwidth 10000

Router(config-scan-list)#nap id 00:00:01 priority 1 channel-index 1

Router(config-scan-list)# nsp id 00:00:01 home

•NAP (Network Access Provider)—The base station. It provides access to the NSPs which provides network connectivity.

•NSP (Network Service Provider)—Provides network connectivity and access to NAPs.

•Maximum number of the number of frequencies: 1

Step 2–WiMAX Interface Configuration

To attach the scan-list to an interface, issue the following commands:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface wimax interface_name

Router(config-if)#no shutdown <-- THIS SHOULD BE SHUT

Router(config-if)# scan-list aaa

Router(config-if)# ip address dhcp

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Step 3–Enable Security Parameters

To enable security parameters, follow these steps:

Step 1 Load the certificates onto the bootflash. Create a trustpoint and import the device certificate.

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# crypto ca trustpoint device_cert_trustpoint

Router(config)# crypto ca import device_cert_trustpoint pkcs12 path password

Step 2 Create a trustpoint and import the server root certificate authority (CA) certificate.

Router(config)# crypto ca trustpoint server_root_CA_trustpoint

Router(config)# crypto ca import server_root_CA_trustpoint pkcs12 path password

Step 3 Configure the authentication method as EAP-TLS:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface wimax interface

Router(config-if)#pkm trustpoint server_root_ca server_root_CA_trustpoint

Router(config-if)#pkm auth-method eap-tls

Router(config-if)# pkm version pkm-v2

Router(config-if)#pkm trustpoint device device_cert_trustpoint <-- *

Router(config-if)#pkm trustpoint server_root_ca
