486CHAPTER 21: CONFIGURING AAA FOR NETWORK USERS

The following command configures a MAC authentication rule that matches on the third-party AP’s MAC address. Because the AP is connected to the WX switch on a wired authentication port, the wired option is used.

WX4400# set authentication mac wired aa:bb:cc:01:01:01 srvrgrp1

success: change accepted.

The following command maps SSID mycorp to packets received on port 3 or 4, using 802.1Q tag value 104:

WX4400# set radius proxy port 3-4 tag 104 ssid mycorp success: change accepted.

Enter a separate command for each SSID, and its tag value, you want the

WX to support.

The following command configures a RADIUS proxy entry for a third-party AP RADIUS client at 10.20.20.9, sending RADIUS traffic to the default UDP ports 1812 and 1813 on the WX:

WX2200# set radius proxy client address 10.20.20.9 key radkey1

success: change accepted.

The IP address is the AP’s IP address. The key is the shared secret configured on the RADIUS servers. MSS uses the shared secret to authenticate and encrypt RADIUS communication.

The following command configures a proxy authentication rule that matches on all usernames associated with SSID mycorp. MSS uses RADIUS server group srvrgrp1 to proxy RADIUS requests and hence to authenticate and authorize the users.

WX4400# set authentication proxy ssid mycorp ** srvrgrp1

MSS also uses the server group you specify with this command for accounting.

To verify the changes, use the display config area aaa command.
