Introduction

The following information provides an example for configuring 802.1X authentication with user profile assignment through an IMC server.

Prerequisites

The following information applies to Comware 7-based access controllers and access points. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the access controllers and access points.

The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of 802.1X, AAA, WLAN authentication, and WLAN access.

Example: Configuring 802.1X authentication with user profile assignment through an IMC server

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the client must pass 802.1X authentication to access the wireless network. The RADIUS server runs on IMC and provides AAA services for the client.

Configure RADIUS-based user profile assignment to limit both the outgoing and incoming traffic rates to 2 Mbps for the client.

Table 1 Interface and IP address assignment

Device	Interface	IP address
AC	VLAN-interface 100	138.100.1.101/16
	VLAN-interface 200	138.200.1.101/16
RADIUS server		8.1.1.50/16
Switch	VLAN-interface 100	138.100.1.100/16
	VLAN-interface 200	138.200.1.100/16
	VLAN-interface 8	8.1.1.100/16

 

Restrictions and guidelines

Use the serial ID labeled on the AP's rear panel to specify an AP.

Procedures

Configuring the AC

1.     Configure interfaces on the AC:

# Configure the SSID of the service template as service.

[AC-wlan-st-1] ssid service

# Assign clients coming online through the service template to VLAN 200.

[AC-wlan-st-1] vlan 200

# Set the AKM mode to 802.1X.

[AC-wlan-st-1] akm mode dot1x

# Set the authentication mode to 802.1X.

[AC] user-profile aaa

[AC-user-profile-aaa] qos car inbound any cir 2048

[AC-user-profile-aaa] qos car outbound any cir 2048

6.     Configure a static route whose next hop address is 138.100.1.100.

[AC] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 138.100.1.100

Configuring the switch

[Switch] vlan 200

[Switch-vlan200] quit

[Switch] interface vlan-interface 200

[Switch-Vlan-interface200] ip address 138.200.1.100 16

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

2.     Configure the DHCP server:

# Enable DHCP.

[Switch] dhcp enable

# Configure DHCP pool vlan100 to assign an IP address to the AP. Specify subnet 138.100.0.0/16 and gateway address 138.100.1.100 in the pool.

[Switch] dhcp server ip-pool vlan100

[Switch-dhcp-pool-vlan100] network 138.100.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0

[Switch-dhcp-pool-vlan100] gateway-list 138.100.1.100
