Enhanced Integration with Cisco Secure ACS

The identity-based networking feature uses authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) override. When the following vendor-specific attributes are present in the RADIUS access accept message, the values override those present in the wireless LAN profile:

QoS level

802.1p value

VLAN interface name

Access control list (ACL) name

In this release, support is being added for the AAA server to return the VLAN number or name using the standard “RADIUS assigned VLAN name/number” feature defined in IETF RFC 2868 (RADIUS Attributes for Tunnel Protocol Support). To assign a wireless client to a particular VLAN, the AAA server sends the following attributes to the controller in the access accept message:

IETF 64 (Tunnel Type): VLAN

IETF 65 (Tunnel Medium Type): 802

IETF 81 (Tunnel Private Group ID): VLAN # or VLAN Name String

This enables Cisco Secure ACS to communicate a VLAN change that may be a result of a posture analysis. Benefits of this new feature include:

Integration with Cisco Secure ACS reduces installation and setup time

Cisco Secure ACS operates smoothly across both wired and wireless networks

This feature supports 2000, 4100, and 4400 series controllers and 1000, 1130, 1200 and 1500 series lightweight access points.

File Transfers

The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution operator can upload and download operating system code, configuration, and certificate files to and from a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller using CLI commands, Web User Interface commands, or Cisco WCS.

To use CLI commands, refer to the “Transferring Files to and from a Controller” section on page 8-2.

To use Cisco WCS to upgrade software, refer to the Cisco Wireless Control System Configuration Guide. Click this URL to browse to this document:
