Overriding or Adding Attributes Locally with a Location Policy 499

„ SSID means the VLAN is set on the roamed-to switch, in the service profile for the SSID the user is associated with. (The Vlan-name attribute is set by the set service-profilename attr vlan-namevlan-idcommand, entered on the roamed-to switch. The name is the name of the service profile for the SSID the user is associated with.)

„ As shown in Table 46, even when keep-initial-vlanis set, a user’s VLAN can be reassigned by AAA or a location policy.

 

The keep-initial-vlan option does not apply to Web-Portal clients. Instead,

 

VLAN assignment for roaming Web-Portal clients automatically works the

 

same way as when keep-initial-vlan is enabled. The VLAN initially

 

assigned to a Web-Portal user is not changed except by a location policy,

 

AAA, or SSID default setting on the roamed-to switch.

 

To enable keep-initial-vlan, use the following command:

 

set service-profile name keep-initial-vlan {enable disable}

 

Enter this command on the switch that will be roamed to by users.

 

The following command enables the keep-initial-vlanoption on service

 

profile sp3:

 

WX1200# set service-profile sp3 keep-initial-vlan enable

 

success: change accepted.

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.
