9 Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays
error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the controller.
10 Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
11 Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration.
In a cluster environment with multiple controllers, please ensure that the VLAN list is consistent across all
controllers.
Configuring Authentication Types
Refer to the following to configure the WLAN authentication options available on the controller:
● Configuring 802.1x EAP
● Configuring Hotspots
● Controller Hotspot Redirection
● Configuring an Internal Hotspot
● Configuring an External Hotspot
● Configuring an Advanced Hotspot
● Configuring an Advanced Hotspot (Using the Local Radius Server)
● Managing Hotspot Files
● Custom Pages
● Configuring MAC Authentication
Configuring 802.1x EAP. The IEEE 802.1x standard ties the 802.1x EAP authentication protocol to both
wired and wireless LAN applications.
The EAP process begins when an unauthenticated supplicant (MU) tries to connect with an
authenticator (in this case, the authentication server). The controller passes EAP packets from the client
to an authentication server on the wired side of the controller. All other packet types are blocked until
the authentication server (typically, a Radius server) verifies the MU’s identity.
As part of the EAP configuration process, ensure a primary and optional secondary Radius server have been properly
configured to authenticate the users requesting access to the EAP protected WLAN. For more information on
configuring Radius Server support for the EAP 802.1x WLAN, see “Configuring External Radius Server Support” on
page 133.
To configure a 802.1x EAP authentication scheme for a WLAN:
1 Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
2 Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab and click the Edit button.
A WLAN screen displays with the WLAN’s existing configuration. Refer to the Authentication and
Encryption columns to assess the WLAN’s existing security configuration.
3 Select the 802.1X EAP button from within the Authentication field.
