Configuring AAA for Users of Third-Party APs 485

„Configure a MAC authentication rule for the AP. Use the following command:

set authentication mac wired mac-addr-glob method1

„Configure the WX port connected to the AP as a RADIUS proxy for the SSID supported by the AP. If SSID traffic from the AP is tagged, assign the same tag value to the WX port. Use the following command:

set radius proxy port port-list[tag tag-value]ssid

ssid-name

„Add a RADIUS proxy entry for the AP. The proxy entry specifies the IP address of the AP and the UDP ports on which the WX switch listens for RADIUS access-requests and stop-accounting records from the AP. Use the following command:

set radius proxy client address ip-address[port udp-port-number][acct-port acct-udp-port-number]key string

„Configure a proxy authentication rule for the AP’s users. Use the following command:

set authentication proxy ssid ssid-nameuser-glob

radius-server-group

For the port-listof the set port type wired-auth and set radius proxy port commands, specify the WX port(s) connected to the third-party AP.

For the ip-addressof the set radius proxy client address command, specify the IP address of the RADIUS client (the third-party AP). For the udp-port-number, specify the UDP port on which the WX switch will listen for RADIUS access-requests. The default is UDP port 1812. For the acct-udp-port-number, specify the UDP port on which the WX switch will listen for RADIUS stop-accounting records. The default is UDP port 1813.

The following command configures WX ports 3 and 4 as wired authentication ports, and assigns tag value 104 to the ports:

WX4400# set port type wired-auth 3-4 tag 104 success: change accepted.

You can specify multiple tag values. Specify the tag value for each SSID you plan to support.
