WLAN authentication commands

client url-redirect acl

Use client url-redirect acl to specify an ACL to match traffic that triggers URL redirection.

Use undo client url-redirect acl to restore the default.

Syntax

client url-redirect acl acl-number

undo client url-redirect acl

Default

No ACL is specified to match traffic that triggers URL redirection.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

acl-number: Specifies an ACL by its number, in the range of 2000 to 3999.

Usage guidelines

By default, the device uses the authorization ACL deployed by the RADIUS server to match traffic that triggers URL redirection. Rule conflicts might exist if the authorization ACL is used by multiple features. To avoid undesirable redirection results, specify a dedicated ACL to match traffic that triggers URL redirection.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# In service template service1, specify ACL 3111 to match traffic that triggers URL redirection.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client url-redirect acl 3111

Related commands

client url-redirect enable

client url-redirect enable

Use client url-redirect enable to enable URL redirection for WLAN clients.

Use undo client url-redirect enable to disable URL redirection for WLAN clients.

Syntax

client url-redirect enable [ mode native [ https [ redirect-stop-timer seconds ] [ count number ] ] ]

undo client url-redirect enable

Default

URL redirection is disabled for WLAN clients

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

mode native: Sets the URL redirection mode to native mode. In this mode, the device redirects a MAC authentication client if it does not have a redirect URL access record for that client in the local cache.

https: Stops redirecting an HTTPS client if the number of its visits to the IP addresses of the redirect URL has reached the limit before the redirect stop timer expires.

redirect-stop-timer seconds: Sets the redirect stop timer in seconds. The value range for the seconds argument is 1 to 30 seconds and the default setting is 5 seconds.

count number: Sets the minimum number of visits to the IP addresses of the redirect URL. The value range for the number argument is 3 to 60 and the default setting is 3.

Usage guidelines

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

This command takes effect only on clients that use RADIUS-based MAC authentication.

In RADIUS-based MAC authentication, a client can pass authentication only if the RADIUS server has its credential information (username and password) and MAC address.

URL redirection facilitates a client to authenticate to the RADIUS server after it has failed a MAC authentication because the server does not have its credential information and MAC address. This feature redirects the client to a specified authentication webpage URL for portal authentication. After the client passes portal authentication, the RADIUS server records the client's credential information and MAC address. At the same time, the server uses DM requests to log off the client. At the next MAC authentication attempt, the client can pass MAC authentication. For information about DMs, see AAA configuration in User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

Typically, redirect decisions are made on the RADIUS server. If the RADIUS server contains MAC authentication information about a client, the client can pass authentication without being redirected to the redirect URL. To make sure all clients visit the redirect URL for purposes such as advertisement, set the URL redirection mode to native mode. In this mode, the device maintains a redirect URL access records for clients and makes a URL redirection decision based on the records, as follows:

·     Redirects the client if no URL access record is found for the client.

·     Stops redirecting an HTTP client if an URL access record exists for the client.

·     Stops redirecting an HTTPS client if the number of its visits to the IP addresses of the redirect URL has reached the specified limit before the redirect stop timer expires.

 

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

The native redirection mode must be used together with the client url-redirect acl command.

 

Examples

# Enable native URL redirection for WLAN clients in service template service1. Stop redirecting an HTTPS client if that client has visited the IP addresses of the redirect URL for 10 times or more within 10 seconds.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

client-security aaa attribute ip-snooping-method

Use client-security aaa attribute ip-snooping-method to include the client IP snooping method in RADIUS packets.

Use undo client-security aaa attribute ip-snooping-method to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security aaa attribute ip-snooping-method

undo client-security aaa attribute ip-snooping-method

Default

The device does not include the client IP snooping method in RADIUS packets.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

The device can obtain the IP address of a client by snooping packets such as DHCP and ARP packets. To help the RADIUS server determine whether the IP address of an 802.1X or MAC authentication client is assigned by a DHCP server, send the IP snooping method in RADIUS packets to the server.

The IP snooping method is encapsulated in the H3c-Ip-Source-Mod attribute (an extended RADIUS attribute with ID 221).

To identify the IP snooping method, the RADIUS server must support extended RADIUS attributes with a vendor ID of 25506. For more information, see AAA configuration in User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# In service template service1, include the client IP snooping method in RADIUS packets.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security aaa attribute ip-snooping-method

client-security accounting-delay time

Use client-security accounting-delay time to configure the accounting delay.

Use undo client-security accounting-delay time to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security accounting-delay time time [ no-ip-logoff ]

undo client-security accounting-delay time

Default

The device sends a start-accounting request for a client only when the device learns the IP address of that client.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

time: Sets the accounting delay timer. The value range for the time argument is 1 to 600 seconds.

no-ip-logoff: Logs off a client if the device has failed to obtain the client IP address before the delay timer expires. If you do not specify this keyword, the device sends a start-accounting request immediately after the accounting delay timer expires.

Usage guidelines

The accounting delay timer operates in conjunction with an IP-based accounting-start trigger. The timer specifies the maximum interval for the device to learn the IP address of an 802.1X or MAC authenticated client before it takes the specified action.

The timer starts when a client passes 802.1X or MAC authentication. If the device has failed to learn an IP address that matches the IP-based accounting-start trigger before the accounting delay timer expires, the device takes either of the following actions:

·     Sends a start-accounting request immediately if the no-ip-logoff action is not specified.

·     Logs off the client if the no-ip-logoff action is specified.

Configure the accounting delay timer depending on the typical amount of time for the device to learn the IP address of a client. As a best practice, increase the delay timer on a low-performance network.

The timer takes effect only on clients that come online after the timer is configured.

Examples

# Set the accounting delay timer to 15 seconds in service template service1. Configure the device to log off a client if it has failed to learn the required client IP address before the delay timer expires.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security accounting-delay time 15 no-ip-logoff

Related commands

client-security accounting-start trigger

client-security accounting-restart trigger ipv4

Use client-security accounting-restart trigger ipv4 to enable the IPv4 address-based accounting-restart trigger for clients.

Use undo client-security accounting-restart trigger ipv4 to disable the IPv4 address-based accounting-restart trigger for clients.

Syntax

client-security accounting-restart trigger ipv4 [ delay interval ]

undo client-security accounting-restart trigger ipv4

Default

The IPv4 address-based accounting-restart trigger is disabled.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

delay interval: Sets the delay for the device to send a start-accounting request for another accounting cycle after it sends a stop-accounting request. The value range for the interval argument is 0 to 20 seconds. The default delay time is 15 seconds.

Usage guidelines

The IPv4 address-based accounting-restart trigger applies to 802.1X and MAC authentication clients.

This trigger restarts accounting for a client by sending a stop-accounting request and then a start-accounting request to the accounting server when the IPv4 address of the client changes.

This trigger has higher priority than the accounting-update trigger configured for IPv4 by using the client-security accounting-update trigger command.

This trigger is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# Enable the IPv4 address-based accounting-restart trigger in service template service1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security accounting-restart trigger ipv4

client-security accounting-start trigger

Use client-security accounting-start trigger to configure an accounting-start trigger for clients.

Use undo client-security accounting-start trigger to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security accounting-start trigger { ipv4 | ipv4-ipv6 | ipv6 | none }

undo client-security accounting-start trigger

Default

The accounting-start trigger is based on IPv4 address type.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ipv4: Sends a start-accounting request if an 802.1X or MAC authenticated client uses an IPv4 address.

ipv4-ipv6: Sends a start-accounting request if an 802.1X or MAC authenticated client uses an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

ipv6: Sends a start-accounting request if an 802.1X or MAC authenticated client uses an IPv6 address.

none: Sends a start-accounting request when a client passes authentication without examining its IP address type.

Usage guidelines

This command takes effect only on clients that have passed 802.1X or MAC authentication. For more information about accounting, see AAA in Security Configuration Guide.

For the accounting-start trigger to take effect, follow these guidelines:

·     If the trigger is IP address type based, you must enable learning IP addresses of that type. For information about wireless client IP address learning, see WLAN IP snooping configuration in User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

·     The IP-based trigger must match the requirement of the accounting server for the IP version.

The trigger takes effect only on clients that come online after the trigger is configured.

Examples

# Configure an IPv4 address-based accounting-start trigger in service template service1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ipv4: Sends an update-accounting request when the IPv4 address of an online 802.1X or MAC authenticated client changes.

ipv4-ipv6: Sends an update-accounting request when the IPv4 or IPv6 address of an online 802.1X or MAC authenticated client changes.

ipv6: Sends an update-accounting request when the IPv6 address of an online 802.1X or MAC authenticated client changes.

Usage guidelines

Use the accounting-update trigger in conjunction with the accounting-start trigger. The accounting-update trigger takes effect only if you have configured the accounting-start trigger by using the client-security accounting-start trigger command.

In addition to the event-based accounting-update trigger, you can set a regular accounting-update interval by using the timer realtime-accounting command.

The accounting-update trigger takes effect only on clients that come online after the trigger is configured.

Examples

# Configure an IPv4 address change-based accounting-update trigger in service template service1.

client-security authentication critical-vlan

Use client-security authentication critical-vlan to configure a critical VLAN for a service template.

Use undo client-security authentication critical-vlan to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security authentication critical-vlan vlan-id

undo client-security authentication critical-vlan

Default

No critical VLAN exists for a service template.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

vlan-id: Specifies the ID of the critical VLAN, in the range of 1 to 4094.

Usage guidelines

The WLAN critical VLAN accommodates clients that have failed WLAN authentication because all RADIUS servers in their ISP domains are unreachable. Clients in the critical VLAN can access a limited set of network resources depending on the configuration.

The authenticator reauthenticates a client in the critical VLAN at the interval of 30 seconds.

·     If the client passes the reauthentication, the authenticator assigns the client to the authorization VLAN. If no authorization VLAN is configured, the client is assigned to the initial VLAN.

·     If the client fails the reauthentication because all the RADIUS servers are unreachable, the client is still in the critical VLAN.

·     If the client fails the reauthentication for any reason other than unreachable servers, the device assigns the client to the Auth-Fail VLAN. If no Auth-Fail VLAN is configured, the device handles the client depending on the intrusion protection setting. If the intrusion protection feature is not configured, the device logs off the client.

The critical VLAN feature does not take effect on clients that use RSNA. When these clients fail authentication because all the RADIUS servers are unreachable, the authenticator directly logs off the clients.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# Configure VLAN 10 as the critical VLAN in service template 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security authentication critical-vlan 10

client-security authentication fail-vlan

Use client-security authentication fail-vlan to configure an Auth-Fail VLAN for a service template.

Use undo client-security authentication fail-vlan to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security authentication fail-vlan vlan-id

undo client-security authentication fail-vlan

Default

No Auth-Fail VLAN exists for a service template.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

vlan-id: Specifies the ID of the Auth-Fail VLAN, in the range of 1 to 4094. Make sure the VLAN has been created.

Usage guidelines

The WLAN Auth-Fail VLAN accommodates clients that have failed WLAN authentication because of the failure to comply with the organization security strategy. For example, the VLAN accommodates clients that have entered invalid passwords. The Auth-Fail VLAN does not accommodate WLAN clients that have failed authentication for authentication timeouts or network connection problems.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# Configure VLAN 10 as the Auth-Fail VLAN in service template 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template 1

[Sysname-wlan-st-1] client-security authentication fail-vlan 10

client-security authorization trigger byod

Use client-security authorization trigger byod to enable the BYOD authorization trigger.

Use undo client-security authorization trigger byod to disable the BYOD authorization trigger.

Syntax

client-security authorization trigger byod

undo client-security authorization trigger byod

Default

The BYOD authorization trigger is disabled.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

This command enables the access device to trigger BYOD authorization for an authenticated client after the device obtains that client's BYOD information, including its IP address. When BYOD authorization is triggered, the session-timeout timer assigned to the client restarts, extending the amount of time that the client can stay online before a reauthentication is required. On a low performance network, it might take so much time for the device to obtain the IP address of a client that the client's extended amount of online time becomes undesirable.

As a best practice to avoid this undesirable issue, use this command only if BYOD authorization is required and make sure the network performance is good. For more information about BYOD authorization, see AAA configuration in User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# Enable the BYOD authorization trigger in service template service1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security authorization trigger byod

client-security authentication-mode

Use client-security authentication-mode to set the authentication mode for WLAN clients.

Use undo client-security authentication-mode to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security authentication-mode { dot1x | dot1x-then-mac | mac | mac-and-dot1x | mac-then-dot1x | oui-then-dot1x }

undo client-security authentication-mode

Default

The WLAN authentication mode is Bypass. The device does not perform authentication for WLAN clients.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

dot1x: Performs only 802.1X authentication for the attached clients. A client cannot access the network if it fails 802.1X authentication.

dot1x-then-mac: Performs 802.1X authentication for the attached clients first, and then MAC authentication if they fail 802.1X authentication. If a client passes 802.1X authentication, MAC authentication is not performed. A client cannot access the network if it does not pass either authentication.

mac: Performs only MAC authentication for the attached clients. A client cannot access the network if it fails MAC authentication.

mac-and-dot1x: Performs MAC authentication for the attached clients first, and then 802.1X authentication. The attached clients must pass MAC authentication and then 802.1X authentication before they can access the network. A client cannot access the network if it fails MAC authentication or 802.1X authentication.

mac-then-dot1x: Performs MAC authentication for the attached clients first, and then 802.1X authentication if they fail MAC authentication. If a client passes MAC authentication, 802.1X authentication is not performed. A client cannot access the network if it does not pass either authentication.

oui-then-dot1x: Performs OUI authentication for the attached clients first, and then 802.1X authentication if they fail OUI authentication. If a client passes OUI authentication, 802.1X authentication is not performed. A client cannot access the network if it does not pass either authentication.

Usage guidelines

A service template allows access of multiple authenticated clients in any authentication mode. To set the maximum number of 802.1X clients, use the dot1x max-user command. To set the maximum number of MAC authentication clients, use the mac-authentication max-user command.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

The dot1x-then-mac, mac-then-dot1x, and oui-then-dot1x modes require iNode. To use such a mode, make sure the wireless endpoints have been installed with the iNode client.

Examples

# Set the authentication mode to mac for WLAN clients in service template service1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security authentication-mode mac

client-security authorization-fail offline

Use client-security authorization-fail offline to enable the authorization-fail-offline feature.

Use undo client-security authorization-fail offline to disable the authorization-fail-offline feature.

Syntax

client-security authorization-fail offline

undo client-security authorization-fail offline

Default

The authorization-fail-offline feature is disabled.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

The authorization-fail-offline feature logs off WLAN clients that fail ACL or user profile authorization.

A WLAN client fails ACL or user profile authorization in the following situations:

·     The device or server fails to authorize the specified ACL or user profile to the client.

·     The authorized ACL or user profile does not exist.

If this feature is disabled, the device does not log off WLAN clients that fail ACL or user profile authorization. However, the device outputs logs to report the failure.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# Enable the authorization-fail-offline feature for service template service1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security authorization-fail offline

client-security ignore-authentication

Use client-security ignore-authentication to configure the device to ignore the 802.1X or MAC authentication failures.

Use undo client-security ignore-authentication to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security ignore-authentication

undo client-security ignore-authentication

Default

The device does not ignore the authentication failures for wireless clients that use 802.1X authentication or RADIUS-based MAC authentication.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

This command applies to the following clients:

·     Clients that use 802.1X authentication.

This command enables the device to ignore the 802.1X authentication failures and allow clients that have failed 802.1X authentication to come online.

·     Clients that use both RADIUS-based MAC authentication and portal authentication.

Typically, a client must pass MAC authentication and portal authentication in turn to access network resources. The client provides username and password each time portal authentication is performed.

This command simplifies the authentication process for a client as follows:

¡     If the RADIUS server already records the client's MAC authentication information, the client passes MAC authentication. The device allows the client to access network resources without performing portal authentication.

¡     If the RADIUS server does not record the client's MAC authentication information, the client fails MAC authentication. The device ignores the MAC authentication failure and performs portal authentication for the client. If the client passes portal authentication, it can access network resources. The MAC address of the portal authenticated client will be recorded as MAC authentication information on the RADIUS server.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

For 802.1X clients that use RSN to roam to a new AP, do not use this command.

Examples

# Configure the device to ignore 802.1X or MAC authentication failures in service template service1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security ignore-authentication

client-security ignore-authorization

Use client-security ignore-authorization to configure the device to ignore the authorization information received from the authentication server (a RADIUS server or the local device).

Use undo client-security ignore-authorization to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security ignore-authorization

undo client-security ignore-authorization

Default

The device uses the authorization information from the server.

Views

Service template view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

After a client passes RADIUS or local authentication, the server performs authorization based on the authorization attributes configured for the user account. For example, the server can assign a VLAN. If you do not want the device to use these authorization attributes for clients, configure this command to ignore the authorization information from the server. Authorization information includes VLAN and CAR information.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# Configure the device to ignore the authorization information from the authentication server for service template service1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] client-security ignore-authorization

client-security intrusion-protection action

Use client-security intrusion-protection action to configure the intrusion protection action that the device takes when intrusion protection detects illegal frames.

Use undo client-security intrusion-protection action to restore the default.

Syntax

client-security intrusion-protection action { service-stop | temporary-block | temporary-service-stop }

undo client-security intrusion-protection action

Default

The intrusion protection action is temporary-block.

Parameters

chap: Configures the access device to perform Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) termination and use the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) to communicate with the RADIUS server.

eap: Configures the access device to relay EAP packets, and supports any of the EAP authentication methods to communicate with the RADIUS server.

pap: Configures the access device to perform EAP termination and use the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) to communicate with the RADIUS server.

Usage guidelines

The access device terminates or relays EAP packets.

·     In EAP termination mode—The access device re-encapsulates and sends the authentication data from the client in standard RADIUS packets to the RADIUS server. The device performs either CHAP or PAP authentication with the RADIUS server. In this mode, the RADIUS server supports only MD5-Challenge EAP authentication and the username and password EAP authentication initiated by an iNode client.

¡     PAP transports usernames and passwords in plaintext format. The authentication method applies to scenarios that do not require high security. To use PAP, the client can be an iNode 802.1X client.

¡     CHAP transports usernames in plaintext format and passwords in ciphertext format over the network. CHAP is more secure than PAP. Compared with PAP, CHAP provides better confidentiality and is more secure and reliable.

·     In EAP relay mode—The access device relays EAP packets between the client and the RADIUS server. The EAP relay mode supports multiple EAP authentication methods, such as MD5-Challenge, EAP-TLS, and PEAP. To use this mode, make sure the RADIUS server uses the same EAP authentication method as the client.

When a remote RADIUS server is used, make sure the RADIUS server supports the PAP, CHAP, or EAP method.

If this mode is used, the user-name-format configuration in RADIUS scheme view does not take effect.

domain-name: Specifies an ISP domain by its name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 255 characters.

Usage guidelines

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

802.1X chooses an authentication domain for WLAN clients in the following order:

1.     Authentication domain specified in the service template.

2.     Domain specified by username.

3.     Default authentication domain.

Examples

# Specify ISP domain my-domain as the authentication domain for 802.1X clients in service template service1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan service-template service1

[Sysname-wlan-st-service1] dot1x domain my-domain

dot1x domain-delimiter

Use dot1x domain-delimiter to specify a set of domain name delimiters supported by the device.

Use undo dot1x domain-delimiter to restore the default.

Syntax

dot1x domain-delimiter string

undo dot1x domain-delimiter

Default

The device supports only the at sign (@) delimiter for 802.1X users.

network-admin

Parameters

string: Specifies a set of 1 to 16 domain name delimiters for 802.1X users. No space is required between delimiters. Available delimiters include the at sign (@), backslash (\), dot (.), and forward slash (/). To use backslash (\) as the domain name delimiter, you must enter the escape character (\) along with the backslash (\) sign. For example, to use the backslash delimiter, specify \\.

Usage guidelines

802.1X supports using at sign (@), backslash (\), dot (.), and forward slash (/) as the domain name delimiter for 802.1X authentication users. Usernames that include domain names can use the format of username@domain-name, domain-name\username, username.domain-name, or username/domain-name. If a username string contains multiple configured delimiters, the device takes the rightmost delimiter in the username string as the domain name delimiter. For example, if you configure the forward slash (/), dot (.), and backslash (\) as delimiters, the domain name delimiter for the username string 121.123/22\@abc is the backslash (\). The username is @abc and the domain name is 121.123/22.

The delimiter set you configured overrides the default setting. If the at sign (@) is not included in the delimiter set, the device does not support the 802.1X users that use this sign as the domain name delimiter.

Examples

# Specify the at sign (@) and forward slash (/) as domain name delimiters.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

The online user handshake feature checks the connection status of online 802.1X clients by periodically sending handshake messages to the clients. The device sets a client to the offline state if it does not receive responses from the client after making the maximum handshake attempts within the handshake timer. To set the handshake timer, use the dot1x timer handshake-period command. To set the maximum handshake attempts, use the dot1x retry command.

The device does not respond to a client after it receives handshake responses from that client. Some clients might initiate reauthentication or go offline if they do not receive the device's responses to their handshake responses. If your network has such clients, you can disable the online user handshake feature.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

Periodic reauthentication enables the device to periodically authenticate online 802.1X clients in a service template. This feature checks the connection status of online clients and updates the authorization attributes assigned by the server, such as the ACL, VLAN, and user profile.

You can use the dot1x timer reauth-period command to configure the interval for reauthentication.

The server-assigned session timeout timer (Session-Timeout attribute) and termination action (Termination-Action attribute) can affect the periodic online user reauthentication feature. To display the server-assigned Session-Timeout and Termination-Action attributes, use the display dot1x connection command (see Security Command Reference).

·     If the termination action is Default (logoff), periodic online user reauthentication on the template takes effect only when the periodic reauthentication timer is shorter than the session timeout timer.

·     If the termination action is Radius-request, the periodic online user reauthentication configuration on the template does not take effect. The device reauthenticates the online 802.1X clients after the session timeout timer expires.

This command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

Examples

# Enable the 802.1X periodic online user reauthentication feature in service template service1.

Parameters

retries: Specifies the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication request to a client. The value range is 1 to 10.

Usage guidelines

The access device retransmits an authentication request to a client if it does not receive any responses from the client within the specified period. If the maximum number of transmission attempts is reached but no response is received, the device stops sending authentication requests. For EAP-Request/Identity packets, the timeout is set by the dot1x timer tx-period command. For EAP-Request/MD5 Challenge packets, the timeout is set by the dot1x timer supp-timeout command.

Examples

# Set the maximum number of attempts to 9 for sending an authentication request to a client.

handshake-period handshake-period-value: Specifies the handshake timeout in the range of 5 to 1024 seconds.

reauth-period reauth-period-value: Specifies the periodic re-authentication timeout in the range of 60 to 7200 seconds.

server-timeout server-timeout-value: Specifies the authentication server timeout in the range of 100 to 300 seconds.

supp-timeout supp-timeout-value: Specifies the client authentication timeout in the range of 1 to 120 seconds.

Usage guidelines

The network device uses the following 802.1X timers:

·     Handshake timer (handshake-period)—Sets the interval at which the access device sends client handshake requests to check the online status of a client that has passed authentication. If the device does not receive a response after sending the maximum number of handshake requests, it considers that the client has logged off.

·     Periodic reauthentication timer (reauth-period)—Sets the interval at which the access device periodically reauthenticates online 802.1X users. To enable 802.1X periodic reauthentication on a port, use the dot1x re-authenticate command. For online 802.1X users, the newly configured timer takes effect only on subsequent re-authentication after the current re-authentication period ends and the authentication is successful.

·     Server timeout timer (server-timeout)—Starts when the access device sends a RADIUS Access-Request packet to the authentication server. If no response is received when this timer expires, 802.1X authentication fails.

As a best practice, set the server-timeout value to be smaller or equal to the maximum number of RADIUS packet transmission attempts (retry) multiplied by the RADIUS server response timeout (timer response-timeout). If the server-timeout value is larger than the retry value multiplied by the timer response-timeout, users might be logged off before the server authentication timeout (server-timeout) is reached. For more information about the maximum number of transmission attempts for a RADIUS packet and the RADIUS server response timeout, see User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

·     Client timeout timer (supp-timeout)—Starts when the access device sends an EAP-Request/MD5-Challenge packet to a client. If no response is received when this timer expires, the access device retransmits the request to the client.

Under normal circumstances, you do not need to modify the values of the timers. However, in certain special or adverse network environments, this command can be used to adjust the interaction process.

The change to the periodic reauthentication timer applies to the users that have been online only after the old timer expires. Other timer changes take effect immediately on the device.

Parameters

keep-online: Allows online fail-permit clients to stay online when an authentication fail-permit event occurs. If you do not specify this keyword, the device disconnects online fail-permit clients when an authentication fail-permit event occurs.

url-user-logoff: Enables the URL client logoff mechanism. This mechanism logs off MAC authentication clients if an authentication fail-permit event occurs after they have been assigned a redirect URL. This keyword is applicable only to MAC authentication clients.

always-service: Enables the current service template to continue providing services for clients after an authentication fail-permit event occurs, regardless of whether a fail-permit service template has been configured. If you do not specify this keyword or a fail-permit service template, MAC authentication or Bypass clients can continue using the current service template to access the network after an authentication fail-permit event occurs. If you do not specify this keyword but specify a fail-permit service template, the current service template stops providing services for clients after an authentication fail-permit event occurs. This keyword is applicable only to MAC authentication and Bypass clients.

Usage guidelines

Application scenarios

Authentication fail-permit (also called fail-open) allows 802.1X, MAC authentication, and Bypass clients to access the network after the AC disconnects from the RADIUS server or the AP. When either event occurs, the AP continues to provide access services and forward traffic for those clients.

Operating mechanism

The impact of an authentication fail-permit event on clients differs depending on their authentication method and depending on whether a fail-permit service template has been configured.

·     Bypass clients:

¡     If the fail-permit template and fail-permit enable (without the always-service keyword) commands are configured, the Bypass clients will be logged off. To access the network, the Bypass clients must manually reconnect to the SSID in the preconfigured fail-permit service template.

¡     If the fail-permit template command is not configured, or if the fail-permit enable always-service command is configured, the Bypass clients can continue using the existing service template enabled with authentication fail-permit to access the network without interruption.

·     MAC authentication clients:

¡     If the fail-permit template and fail-permit enable (without the always-service keyword) commands are configured, the MAC authentication clients will be logged off. To access the network, the MAC authentication clients must manually reconnect to the SSID in the preconfigured fail-permit service template.

¡     If the fail-permit template command is not configured, or if the fail-permit enable always-service command is configured, the MAC authentication clients can continue using the existing service template enabled with authentication fail-permit to access the network after a transient interruption. In this situation, the clients will be logged off and then automatically connected to the network.

·     The 802.1X clients will be logged off. To access the network, the 802.1X clients must manually reconnect to the SSID in a preconfigured fail-permit service template.

Prerequisites

For authentication fail-permit to take effect, perform the following steps:

1.     Execute the radius-server test-profile command to configure a RADIUS test profile to test the reachability of the RADIUS server.

In the profile, set the interval for sending detection packets as needed. The shorter the interval is, the quicker the response to the change will be.

2.     Apply the profile to the RADIUS server in the RADIUS scheme for the authentication ISP domain.

Fail-permit will occur when the RADIUS server is determined to be unreachable.

For more information about configuring RADIUS test profiles, see AAA configuration in User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

Recommended configuration

In some network environments, such as the AD-Campus network solution, the RADIUS server assigns a redirect URL to MAC authentication clients when they come online. This URL is used to redirect the clients to the Web authentication page for user authentication. However, if an authentication fail-permit event occurs after an online MAC authentication client has been assigned a redirect URL, the client might remain in authenticating state due to the unavailability of the RADIUS server. To resolve this issue, you can specify the url-user-logoff keyword to force the client to log off. To continue accessing the network, the client must reconnect to the network.

You can only bind one fail-permit service template to a radio. If an authentication fail-permit event occurs, clients that use multiple service templates with authentication fail-permit enabled will all access one fail-permit service template to come online. As a result, the wireless network experience might degrade for clients. To prevent all clients from coming online through one fail-permit service template, you can specify the always-service keyword in the service templates that use MAC authentication or Bypass authentication. This keyword ensures that when an authentication fail-permit event occurs, the current service templates with authentication fail-permit enabled can continue providing wireless services regardless of whether a fail-permit service template has been configured.

Restrictions and guidelines

The fail-permit enable command is configurable when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

The fail-permit enable command is mutually exclusive with the fail-permit template command in the same service template.

If you do not specify any parameters for the fail-permit enable command in a service template, all online clients in that service template will be logged off when an authentication fail-permit event occurs.

Usage guidelines

You can use this command for the following purposes:

·     Authentication fail-permit—To use the authentication fail-permit feature for clients associated with one service template, specify another service template as a fail-permit service template. If the protected service template has 802.1X clients, you must specify a fail-permit service template. This requirement is optional for other types of authentication clients. For more information about the authentication fail-permit feature, see the usage guidelines for the fail-permit enable command.

·     5G radio silence fail-permit—Allows an AP to move the clients of a service template on a 5G radio to a different 5G radio for network access when radio silence is imposed on the former radio.

You can execute the fail-permit template command only when the service template is disabled, and it takes effect after the service template is enabled.

The fail-permit template command is mutually exclusive with the fail-permit enable command in the same service template.

To ensure a successful fail-permit, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     Enable APs to forward client data traffic in the fail-permit service template by using the client forwarding-location command.

·     If APs are configured as the authenticator in a service template by using the client-security authentication-location command, the authenticator in the fail-permit service template of this service template must also be APs.

Use the following guidelines when you configure an authentication fail-permit service template:

·     As a best practice, configure only one fail-permit service template for clients on an AP. If you configure multiple fail-permit service templates, only the one that is first bound to a radio on the AP will take effect.

·     To ensure a successful fail-permit for clients, set the AKM mode to PSK or do not specify any AKM mode in the fail-permit service template.

Use the following guidelines when you configure a 5G silence fail-permit service template for 5G clients:

·     Specify one 5G silence fail-permit service template for each 5G service template on a 5G radio. These 5G silence fail-permit service templates must contain the same settings as their protected 5G service templates except that the protected 5G service templates cannot contain the fail-permit template command.

·     Bind a 5G silence fail-permit service template to a different radio than its protected 5G service template on the same AP.

Parameters

chap: Configures the access device to use the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) to communicate with the RADIUS server.

pap: Configures the access device to use the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) to communicate with the RADIUS server.

Usage guidelines

The device can use either of the following methods to perform MAC authentication with an authentication server:

·     PAP—Transports usernames and passwords in plaintext format. The authentication method applies to scenarios that do not require high security.

·     CHAP—Transports usernames in plaintext format and passwords in ciphertext format over the network. CHAP is more secure than PAP. Compared with PAP, CHAP provides better confidentiality and is more secure and reliable.

Parameters

offline-detect offline-detect-value: Sets the offline detect timeout in seconds, in the range of 60 to 2147483647 seconds.

quiet quiet-value: Sets the quiet timeout in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds.

server-timeout server-timeout-value: Sets the server timeout in the range of 100 to 300 seconds.

Usage guidelines

MAC authentication uses the following timers:

·     Offline detect timer—Sets the interval that the device waits for traffic from a user before the device determines that the user is idle. If the device has not received traffic from a user before the timer expires, the device logs off that user and requests the accounting server to stop accounting for the user. To avoid unexpected user disassociations, if you set the offline detect timeout, make sure to set the MAC address aging time to the same value. The timer takes effect only when MAC authentication disassociation detection is enabled on the port.

·     Quiet timer—Sets the interval that the device must wait before the device can perform MAC authentication for a user that has failed MAC authentication. All packets from the MAC address are dropped during the quiet time. This quiet mechanism prevents repeated authentication from affecting system performance.

·     Server timeout timer—Sets the interval that the device waits for a response from a RADIUS server before the device determines that the RADIUS server is unavailable. If the timer expires during MAC authentication, the user cannot access the network.

As a best practice, set the server-timeout value to be smaller or equal to the maximum number of RADIUS packet transmission attempts (retry) multiplied by the RADIUS server response timeout (timer response-timeout). If the server-timeout value is larger than the retry value multiplied by the timer response-timeout, users might be logged off before the server authentication timeout (server-timeout) is reached.

For more information about the maximum number of transmission attempts for a RADIUS packet and the RADIUS server response timeout, see User Access and Authentication Configuration Guide.

Parameters

value: Sets the modifier, in the range of 900 to 1000. The lower the value, the lower the authentication success ratio, and the higher the abnormal offline ratio.

Usage guidelines

The authentication success ratio is the ratio of the number of authentication success times to the total number of authentication times. The abnormal offline ratio is calculated by using the following formula: abnormal offline ratio = number of times that clients go offline abnormally ÷ (number of authentication success times + number of current online users).

WLAN authentication statistics optimization uses a modifier to adjust the authentication success ratio and abnormal offline ratio of 802.1X authentication, MAC authentication, and Layer 2 portal authentication.

The modifier takes effect only on RADIUS-based 802.1X authentication, MAC authentication, and Layer 2 portal authentication.

Usage guidelines

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

When this feature is enabled, the 802.1X reauthentication, WLAN Auth-Fail VLAN, and WLAN critical VLAN features cannot take effect.

Some RADIUS servers reject to authenticate a client if they have an online user entry for that client. If they fail to remove the online user entry for a client that has gone offline incorrectly, that client will be unable to get authenticated and come online again.

To resolve this issue, use the clear-previous-connection feature.

With this feature, the device checks the local online user entries before it sends an authentication request to the RADIUS server for an 802.1X or MAC authentication client. If an entry is found, the device removes the entry and sends a stop-accounting request to the RADIUS server. Upon receipt of the stop-accounting request, the RADIUS server removes the online user entry. Then, the client can be authenticated correctly.
