5 RADIUS for PMP

Release 11.0 adds support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol supporting Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA). The following topics are covered in this document:

oAn overview of the Canopy RADIUS implementation

oDescription of the operation of RADIUS with Canopy and the various configurable parameters and their settings

oProcedures for specific tasks associated with configuring Canopy for RADIUS o Reference material, especially information on VSAs and OIDs.

The information does not

oProvide substantial background on the RADIUS protocol. A solid understanding of RADIUS is assumed, or should be gained from other sources.

oProvide detailed information on setting up a RADIUS server. This information should be gained from other sources, including the vendor or provider of the RADIUS server.

A typical course of action to prepare for the migration to RADIUS is

oStudy these release notes

oGain any additional knowledge needed on RADIUS and your specific RADIUS server from outside sources and install your RADIUS server and database.

o Experiment with a test system in the lab or field o Develop a migration plan for your network

o Migrate your network to RADIUS

5.1RADIUS IMPLEMENTATION OVERVIEW

5.1.1RADIUS Functions

RADIUS protocol support provides the following functions:

oSM Authentication allows only known SMs onto the network (blocking “rogue” SMs), and can be configured to ensure SMs are connecting to a known network (preventing SMs from connecting to “rogue” APs). RADIUS authentication is used for SMs, but not used for APs, BHMs, or BHSs.

oSM Configuration configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), CIR (Committed Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when an SM registers to an AP.

oCentralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. BHMs and BHSs do not support RADIUS accounting. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as the Motorola One Point Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account.

PTP 100 (FSK), PMP 400, PTP 200 (OFDM, PMP 100 specifications

Motorola has long been a key player in the wireless communications market, known for its innovative solutions that cater to various connectivity needs. Among its diverse product range, the Motorola PMP 100 and PTP 200 series stand out as robust solutions for both point-to-multipoint (PMP) and point-to-point (PTP) applications, utilizing advanced modulation technologies such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) and FSK (Frequency Shift Keying).

The Motorola PMP 100 series is designed for wireless broadband access, enabling operators to provide high-speed internet connectivity to rural and underserved areas. Its capability to support multiple users makes it an ideal choice for ISPs looking to deliver last-mile connectivity. The PMP 100 operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz frequency bands, ensuring flexibility and compliance with various regulatory requirements.
