Introduction

The following information provides examples for configuring direct IPv6 portal authentication in a wireless network where APs directly forward client traffic.

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, portal, and WLAN.

Example: Configuring local forwarding mode direct IPv6 portal authentication

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1:

·     The AP and the client obtain IPv6 addresses from the DHCPv6 server.

·     The AP and the AC use VLAN 100 to establish CAPWAP tunnels, and the client uses VLAN 200 to access the wireless network.

·     The AP directly forwards traffic of the client.

·     The IMC server acts as the portal authentication server, portal Web server, and RADIUS server.

·     The AC performs direct IPv6 portal authentication on clients. Before passing IPv6 portal authentication, the client can access only the portal Web server. After passing IPv6 portal authentication, the client can access other network resources.

·     The client user can access network resources on any Layer 2 ports in its access VLAN without re-authentication.

·     The IMC server can dynamically change authorization information for the user and can log out the user.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To allow an authenticated user to access network resources on any Layer 2 ports in its access VLAN without re-authentication, enable the portal roaming feature.

To allow the RADIUS server to modify user authorization information and log out users, enable the RADIUS session-control feature.

To add GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of the AP to the local forwarding VLAN (VLAN 200), edit the AP's configuration file and upload it to the AC's storage medium.

To allow portal users to access both IPv4 and IPv6 networks after passing one type (IPv4 or IPv6) of portal authentication, enable portal to support IPv4/IPv6 dual stack.

Configure DNS if necessary. In this example, DNS is not required.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure direct portal authentication, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

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

·     The portal authentication server type and portal Web server type configured on the AC must be the same as the types of the servers actually used.

·     By default, the portal Web server URL redirected to users does not carry parameters. You can configure the parameters to be carried in the redirection URL as needed.

Procedures

Configuring IMC

This example uses the IMC server to describe the RADIUS server and portal server configuration. The IMC server runs on IMC PLAT 7.1(E0303), IMC EIA 7.1(E0304), and IMC EIP 7.1(E0304).

Configuring the RADIUS server

1.     Add an access device:

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

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

c.     Click Add.

The Add Access Device page opens.

d.     Configure the shared key as radius.

The shared key must be the same as that configured for the RADIUS server on the AC.

e.     In the Device List area, click Add IPv6 Dev to open the Add Access Device Manually page. Enter the start IPv6 address 2001::1 and click OK.

f.     Use the default settings for other parameters.

Verifying the configuration

# Use the configured username and password to perform portal authentication through a Web browser on the client. Before passing authentication, all Web accesses are redirected to the portal authentication page (http://[2003::2]:8080/portal). After passing authentication, you can access other network resources.

# Display the online portal user information on the AC.

[AC] display portal user all

Total portal users: 1

Username: Client

  AP name: ap1

  Radio ID: 2

  SSID: service

  Portal server: newpt

  State: Online

  VPN instance: N/A

  MAC             IP                    VLAN    Interface

  0021-6330-0933  2004::2               200     WLAN-BSS1/0/16

    User profile: N/A

    Session group profile: N/A

    ACL number: N/A

    Inbound CAR: N/A

    Outbound CAR: N/A

The output shows that the client successfully passes portal authentication and comes online.

# Display portal filtering rules on the AC and the AP.

[AC] display portal rule all ap ap1

Slot 1:

[AP] display portal rule all

 

IPv6 portal rules on WLAN-BSS1/0/16:

Rule 1:

 Action              : Permit

 Protocol            : Any

 Status              : Active

 Source:

    IP             : ::

    Prefix length  : 0

    Port           : Any

    MAC            : 0000-0000-0000

    Interface      : WLAN-BSS1/0/16

    VLAN           : Any

 Destination:

    IP             : 2003::2

    Prefix length  : 128

    Port           : Any

 

Rule 2:

 Type                : Dynamic

 Action              : Permit

 Status              : Active

 Source:

    IP             : 2004::2

    MAC            : 0021-6330-0933

    Interface      : WLAN-BSS1/0/16

    VLAN           : Any

The output shows that the AC does not have portal filtering rules for the AP and the AP has the portal filtering rules. This is because the local forwarding mode is used.
