MSS assigns the user to a VLAN and applies optional user attributes, such as a

 

session timeout value and one or more security ACL filters.

 

A location policy is a set of rules that enables you to locally set or change

 

authorization attributes for a user after the user is authorized by AAA,

 

without making changes to the AAA server. For example, you might want

 

to enforce VLAN membership and security ACL policies on a particular

 

WX based on a client’s organization or physical location, or assign a VLAN

 

to users who have no AAA assignment. For these situations, you can

 

configure the location policy on the switch.

 

You can use a location policy to locally set or change the Filter-Id and

 

VLAN-Name authorization attributes obtained from AAA.

 

Conditions within a rule are ANDed. All conditions in the rule must match

 

in order for MSS to take the specified action. If the location policy

 

contains multiple rules, MSS compares the user information to the rules

 

one at a time, in the order the rules appear in the switch’s configuration

 

file, beginning with the rule at the top of the list. MSS continues

 

comparing until a user matches all conditions in a rule or until there are

 

no more rules.

 

Any authorization attributes not changed by the location policy remain

 

active.

 

Each WX switch can have one location policy. The location policy consists

 

of a set of rules. Each rule contains conditions, and an action to perform

 

if all conditions in the rule match. The location policy can contain up to

 

150 rules.
