Introduction

The following information provides an example of configuring remote 802.1X authentication for clients on a network that deploys an AC hierarchy in which two central ACs are used for redundancy.

Prerequisites

The following information applies to Comware-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 AAA, WLAN access authentication, WLAN access, and WLAN high availability features.

General restrictions and guidelines

Central ACs on an AC hierarchy network do not support IRF.

Example: Configuring remote 802.1X authentication on an AC hierarchy network with dual-link central AC backup

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, in the AC hierarchy network, Central AC 1 acts as the master central AC and Central AC 2 acts as the backup central AC. The AP and the client obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server, and an IMC server acts as the RADIUS server.

Configure the devices to meet the following requirements:

·     The central ACs operate in active/standby mode and back up each other.

·     The AP, the central ACs, and the local AC have network connectivity to one another.

¡     The AP obtains the IP addresses of the master and backup central ACs through DHCP Option 43.

¡     The AC rediscovery feature is configured on the central ACs for the AP to associate with the local AC.

¡     The AP can associate with the master central AC when the local AC fails.

·     The central ACs act as the authenticator and use the RADIUS server to perform authentication, authorization, and accounting for the client. 802.1X authentication is enabled for the service template through which the client accesses the network.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

For dual-link central AC backup to operate correctly, configure the local AC and manual AP settings on both central ACs. Make sure the priority settings on the local AC, the master central AC, and the backup central AC are correctly configured so that the local AC can re-associate with the master central AC when the master central AC recovers from a failure.

For the RADIUS server to dynamically change client authorization information or forcibly disconnect a wireless client, enable the RADIUS session-control feature on the central ACs.

For GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to forward client data traffic in VLAN 300, edit a .txt AP configuration file and upload the file to the central ACs. In the file, the port is added to VLAN 300.

To avoid dynamic authorization failures, configure the RADIUS Dynamic Authorization Extensions Server (DAS) feature on the central ACs.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure remote 802.1X authentication on an AC hierarchy network with dual central ACs, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     Make sure the master and backup central ACs run the same version of software and have the same settings.

·     Use the actual serial ID of an AP to uniquely identify that AP.

·     On the local AC, do not enable the auto AP feature. In addition, create a manual AP for the AP in local AC view on the central ACs for the central ACs to manage the AP.

Procedures

Editing the AP configuration file

# Use a text editor to edit the APs' configuration file, and then upload the file to each central AC. In this example, the configuration file name is apmap.txt.

The following is the AP configuration for this example:

Configuring the RADIUS server

In this example, the RADIUS server runs IMC PLAT 7.1 (E0303p13), IMC EIA 7.1 (F0302p08), and IMC EIP 7.1 (F0302p08).

Adding the central ACs as access devices to IMC

This example only illustrates the process to add Central AC 1 to IMC as an access device. You can add Central AC 2 at 2.2.1.2 to IMC in the same way Central AC 1 is added.

To add Central AC 1 to IMC as an access device:

1.     Log in to IMC and click the User tab.

2.     From the navigation tree, select User Access Policy > Access Device Management > Access Device.

3.     Click Add.

The Add Access Device page opens.

4.     In the Access Configuration area, configure the following parameters, as shown in Figure 2:

¡     Enter 123456 in the Shared Key and Confirm Shared Key fields. The shared key must be the same as the authentication and accounting shared keys configured on the AC.

¡     Use the default values for other parameters.

5.     In the Device List area, click Select or Add Manually to add Central AC 1 at 2.2.1.1 as an access device.

The IP address must be the source IP address specified for outgoing RADIUS packets on the AC.

6.     Click OK.

Figure 2 Adding an access device

 

Adding an access policy

1.     From the navigation tree, select User Access Policy > Access Policy.

2.     Click Add.

3.     On the Add Access Policy page, configure the following parameters, as shown in Figure 3:

¡     Enter 802.1X-CAC1 in the Access Policy Name field.

¡     Select Ungrouped from the Service Group list.

¡     Select EAP-PEAP from the Preferred EAP Type list, and select EAP-MSCHAPv2 from the Subtype list.

The certificate subtype on the IMC server must be the same as the identity authentication method configured on the wireless client.

¡     Use the default values for other parameters.

4.     Click OK.

Figure 3 Adding an access policy

 

Adding an access service

1.     From the navigation tree, select User Access Policy > Access Service.

2.     Click Add.

3.     On the Add Access Service page, configure the following parameters, as shown in Figure 4:

¡     Enter 802.1X-CAC1 in the Service Name field.

¡     Select 802.1X-CAC1 from the Default Access Policy list.

¡     Use the default values for other parameters.

4.     Click OK.

Figure 4 Adding an access service

 

Adding an access user

1.     From the navigation tree, select Access User > Access User.

The access user list opens.

2.     Click Add.

The Add Access User page opens.

3.     In the Access Information area, configure the following parameters, as shown in Figure 5:

a.     Click Select or Add User to associate the user with IMC Platform user 802.1X-CAC.

b.     Enter client in the Account Name field.

c.     Enter 123456 in the Password and Confirm Password fields.

4.     In the Access Service area, select 802.1X-CAC1 from the list.

5.     Click OK.
