Authentication for a WM-AD
The next step in configuring a WM-AD is to set up the authentication mechanism. There are various
authentication combinations available:
z If network assignment is by SSID, authentication can be:
z none
z by Captive Portal using internal Captive Portal
z by Captive Portal using external Captive Portal
z by MAC-based authentication
z If network assignment is by AAA (802.1X), authentication can be:
z by 802.1X authentication, the wireless device user must be authenticated before gaining network
access
z by MAC-based authentication
The first step for any type of authentication is to select RADIUS servers for:
z Authentication
z Accounting
z MAC-based authentication
MAC-based authentication enables network access to be restricted to specific devices by MAC address.
In addition to the other types of authentication, when MAC-based authentication is employed the
Summit WM Controller queries a RADIUS server to determine if the wireless client's MAC address is
authorized to access the network.
Vendor Specific Attributes
In addition to the standard RADIUS message, you can include Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs). The
Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software authentication mechanism provides six VSAs for
RADIUS and other authentication mechanisms.
