254 Installation and Configuration Guide: Airgo Access Point
Description: This notification is generated when the MIC fails during EAPOL key exchange
process.
Usage: This indicates that the AP has determined that a STA has failed a MIC check
during the EAPOL authentication exchange. If the authentication type is WPA
PSK, and the failure happened during the pairwise key exchange, then this is most
likely due to a misconfiguration of the WPA pre-shared key on the station.
Otherwise, it might mean that an attacker’s station is attempting to marquerade as a
legal station.
Examples: For device-id AP_00-0A-F5-00-01-89 , the STA 00:0a:f5:00:05:f0 [0] on radio 0 with user
paul and SSID NewYorkRm failed an EAPOL-MIC check with auth-type 4 during key
exchange 2. (If using WPA-PSK, check the PSK on the STA.)
