# Configure Wireless Networking
You can configure wireless networking in Photon OS. Connect to an open network or a WPA2 protected network using `wpa_cli` and configure `systemd-networkd` to assign an IP address to the network.
* [Connect using `wpa_cli`](#connect-using-wpa-cli)
* [Assign IP address to network](#assign-ip-address-to-network)
## Connect Using wpa_cli
When you connect using `wpa_cli`, you can scan for available networks and associate the network with a network ID.
Perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the `wpa_supplicant service` is running on the WLAN interface:
`Systemctl status wpa_supplicant@<wlan-interface>.service`
1. Connect to `wpa_cli`:
`wpa_cli -i wlan0`
1. Scan for available networks:
`scan`
1. To see the list of networks, use the following command:
`scan_results`
1. Add the network:
`add_network`
This command returns a network ID.
1. Associate the network with the network ID.
`set_network <network ID> ssid “<ssid-name>”`
1. For a WPA2 network, set the passphrase:
`set_network <network ID> psk “<passphrase>”`
1. Enable the network:
`enable_network <network ID>`
1. Save the configuration file:
`save_config`
To exit the `wpa_cli`, type 'quit`.
## Assign IP Address To Network
Configure `systemd-networkd` to assign IP address to network. Perform the following steps:
1. Create a `/etc/systemd/network/98-dhcp-wlan.network` file with the following contents:
```
[Match]
Name=wlan*
[Network]
DHCP=yes
IPv6AcceptRA=no
```
1. Restart `systemd-networkd` using:
`Systemctl restart systemd-networkd`
