484CHAPTER 21: CONFIGURING AAA FOR NETWORK USERS

Configuring Authentication for 802.1X Users of a Third-Party AP with Tagged SSIDs

WX Switch Requirements

„The WX port connected to the third-party AP must be configured as a wired authentication port. If SSID traffic from the AP is tagged, the same VLAN tag value must be used on the wired authentication port.

„A MAC authentication rule must be configured to authenticate the AP.

„The WX must be configured as a RADIUS proxy for the AP. The WX is a RADIUS server to the AP but remains a RADIUS client to the real RADIUS servers.

The WX system IP address must be the same as the IP address configured on the VLAN that contains the proxy port.

„An authentication proxy rule must be configured for the AP’s users. The rule matches based on SSID and username, and selects the authentication method (a RADIUS server group) for proxying.

RADIUS Server Requirements

„For 802.1X users, the usernames and passwords must be configured on the RADIUS server.

„For non-802.1X users of a tagged SSID, the special username web-portal-ssidor last-resort-ssidmust be configured, where ssid is the SSID name. The fallthru authentication type (web-portalor last-resort) specified for the wired authentication port connected to the AP determines which username you need to configure.

„For any users of an untagged SSID, the special username web-portal-wiredor last-resort-wiredmust be configured, depending on the fallthru authentication type specified for the wired authentication port.

To configure MSS to authenticate 802.1X users of a third-party AP, use the commands below to do the following:

„Configure the port connected to the AP as a wired authentication port. Use the following command:

set port type wired-auth port-list[tag tag-list][max-sessions num]

[auth-fall-thru {last-resort none web-portal}]
