Since the even with the configuration guides I found and uploaded configuration of the Wireless Controller still has some details not in the guides. I thought I would upload my confguration of my wireless as an example. I am using EAP based WPA/WPA2 security to a Windows 2003 Radius Server specifically an internal PKI . This is based on an existing IAS Server infrastructure and just adding the Wireless Controller as a new Radius Client. I have two SSIDs one for guests called GUEST-WIFI on an internet access vlan (VLAN 80) and a SECURED-WIFI for end-users on VLAN 1 using WPA/WPA2.

On the controller the following needs to be configured:

 

#

domain default enable system

#

port-security enable

#

dot1x authentication-method eap

#

radius scheme ias

server-type extended

primary authentication IASSERVERIP

primary accounting IASSERVERIP

key authentication SHAREDKEY

key accounting SHAREDKEY

timer realtime-accounting 3

user-name-format keep-original

nas-ip ACCESSCONTROLLERIP

undo stop-accounting-buffer enable

accounting-on enable

#

#

domain ias

authentication default radius-scheme ias

authorization default radius-scheme ias

accounting default radius-scheme ias

access-limit disable

state active

idle-cut disable

self-service-url disable

#

wlan radio-policy rp

beacon-interval 500

#

wlan service-template 1 clear

ssid GUEST-WIFI

bind WLAN-ESS 0

user-isolation enable

service-template enable

#

wlan service-template 2 crypto

ssid SECURED-WIFI

bind WLAN-ESS 1

cipher-suite tkip

cipher-suite ccmp

security-ie rsn

security-ie wpa

service-template enable

#

#

interface WLAN-ESS0

port access vlan 80

#

interface WLAN-ESS1

port-security port-mode userlogin-secure-ext

port-security tx-key-type 11key

dot1x mandatory-domain ias

#

#

wlan ap autoap model 7760_2750 id 3

serial-id auto

radio 1

radio-policy rp

service-template 1

service-template 2

radio enable

On the IAS server a new radius client needs to be configured.

    Thanks for this, very useful – I’m about to implement the same. On another note – have you had any experience of using multiple VLAN’s on the same AP? Such as a Guest VLAN and a Secure VLAN on the same hybrid port. I’m trying to get this to work, but can only get a client IP on the secure SSID on the default VLAN on the port, not any tagged VLANs associated with the guest or other SSIDs.

    Many thanks!

      I currently run multiple VLANs on all my APs mostly they are configured without local forwarding to minimize special config on the network ports.

        Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve tried both with or without local forwarding, unsuccessfully so far. Do you have any information on the associated port configuration for the example configuration you have given in this post? Thanks for the posts on this subject by the way, there is so little information on this product outside of the limited documentation, it really is very useful.

        I’ll try and get a copy of what I’m doing up today.
