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-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:

# Create VLAN 100 and VLAN-interface 100, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. The AC will use this IP address to establish CAPWAP tunnels with the AP.

<AC> system-view

[AC] vlan 100

[AC-vlan100] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 100

[AC-Vlan-interface100] ip address 138.100.1.101 16

[AC-Vlan-interface100] quit

# Create VLAN 200 and VLAN-interface 200, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. VLAN 200 will be used for client access.

[AC] vlan 200

[AC-vlan200] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 200

[AC-Vlan-interface200] ip address 138.200.1.101 16

[AC-Vlan-interface200] quit

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 (the port connected to the switch) as a trunk port, remove the port from VLAN 1, and assign the port to VLANs 100 and 200.

[AC] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] undo port trunk permit vlan 1

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk permit vlan 100 200

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

2.     Configure 802.1X authentication:

# Enable port security globally.

[AC] port-security enable

# Configure the AC to use EAP relay to authenticate 802.1X clients.

[AC] dot1x authentication-method eap

# Create a RADIUS scheme named office and enter its view.

[AC] radius scheme office

# Specify the IP addresses of the primary authentication and accounting RADIUS servers.

[AC-radius-office] primary authentication 8.1.1.50

[AC-radius-office] primary accounting 8.1.1.50

# Set the shared key to 12345678 in plain text for secure communication with the servers.

[AC-radius-office] key authentication simple 12345678

[AC-radius-office] key accounting simple 12345678

# Specify IP address 138.100.1.101 as the source IP address for outgoing RADIUS packets.

[AC-radius-office] nas-ip 138.100.1.101

[AC-radius-office] quit

# Create an ISP domain named office and enter its view.

[AC] domain office

# Apply RADIUS scheme office to ISP domain office for LAN user authentication and authorization, and do not perform accounting for LAN users in the domain.

[AC-isp-office] authentication lan-access radius-scheme office

[AC-isp-office] authorization lan-access radius-scheme office

[AC-isp-office] accounting lan-access none

[AC-isp-office] quit

3.     Configure a wireless service:

# Create a service template named 1 and enter its view.

[AC] wlan service-template 1

# 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-wlan-st-1] client-security authentication-mode dot1x

# Specify ISP domain office for authenticating 802.1X clients.

[AC-wlan-st-1] dot1x domain office

# Set the cipher suite to CCMP.

[AC-wlan-st-1] cipher-suite ccmp

# Enable the RSN IE in beacon and probe responses.

[AC-wlan-st-1] security-ie rsn

# Enable the AC to forward client data traffic. If the AC forwards client data traffic by default, skip this step.

[AC-wlan-st-1] client forwarding-location ac

# Enable the service template.

[AC-wlan-st-1] service-template enable

[AC-wlan-st-1] quit

4.     Configure AP settings:

 

IMPORTANT: In a large-scale network, configure AP groups as a best practice.

 

# Create a manual AP named ap1, and specify the AP model and serial ID

[AC] wlan ap ap1 model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-ap1] serial-id 219801A28N819CE0002T

[AC-wlan-ap-ap1] quit

# Create AP group group1 and create an AP grouping rule by AP names to add AP ap1 to AP group group1.

[AC] wlan ap-group group1

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] ap ap1

# Bind service template 1 to radio 1 in AP group group1.

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] ap-model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320] radio 1

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320-radio-1] service-template 1

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320] quit

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] quit

5.     Configure a user profile named aaa, and configure a CAR policy to limit both the incoming and outgoing traffic rates to 2Mbps.

[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

1.     Configure interfaces on the switch:

# Create VLAN 100 and VLAN-interface 100, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. The switch will use this VLAN to communicate with the AC.

<Switch> system-view

[Switch] vlan 100

[Switch-vlan100] quit

[Switch] vlan 8

[Switch-vlan8] quit

[Switch] interface vlan-interface 8

[Switch-Vlan-interface8] ip address 8.1.1.100 16

[Switch-Vlan-interface8] quit

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 (the port connected to the AC) as a trunk port, and assign the trunk port to all VLANs.

[Switch] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk permit vlan all

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 (the port connected to the AP) as a trunk port, assign the port to VLAN 100, and remove the port from VLAN 1. Set the PVID of the port to VLAN 100.

[Switch] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port link-type trunk

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] undo port trunk permit vlan 1

# Configure DHCP pool vlan200 to assign an IP address to the client. Specify subnet 138.200.0.0/16 and gateway address 138.200.1.100 in the pool. In this example, the address of the DNS server is 138.200.1.100 (the gateway address). You must replace it with the actual address of the DNS server on your network.

[Switch] dhcp server ip-pool vlan200

[Switch-dhcp-pool-vlan200] network 138.200.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0
