Conguring AAA for Network Users
• Mobility-Prole - Controls the switch ports a user can access. For wireless users, an
MSS Mobility Prole species the access points through which the user can access
the network. For wired authentication users, the Mobility Prole species the wired
authentication ports through which the user can access the network.
• SSID - SSID the user is allowed to access after authentication.
• Start-Date - Date and time at which the user becomes eligible to access the network.
MSS does not authenticate the user unless the attempt to access the network occurs
at or after the specied date and time, but before the end-date (if specied).
• Time-of-Day - Day(s) and time(s) during which the user is permitted to log into the
network.
• VLAN-Name - VLAN to place the user on.
You also can assign the following RADIUS attributes to users congured in the local
database.
• Filter-Id - Security ACL that permits or denies trafc received (input) or sent (output)
the switch.
• Service-Type - Type of access the user is requesting, which can be network access,
administrative access to the enabled (conguration) mode of the MSS CLI, or
administrative access to the nonenabled mode of the CLI
• Session-Timeout - Maximum number of seconds allowed for the user’s session.
Regardless of whether you congure the user and attributes on RADIUS servers or the
switch’s local database, the VLAN attribute is required. The other attributes are optional.
Accounting
MSS also supports accounting. Accounting collects and sends information used for billing,
auditing, and reporting - for example, user identities, connection start and stop times, the
number of packets received and sent, and the number of bytes transferred. You can track
sessions through accounting information stored locally or on a remote RADIUS server.
Summary of AAA Features
Depending on your network conguration, you can congure authentication, authorization,
and accounting (AAA) for network users to be performed locally on the switch or remotely
on a RADIUS server. The number of users that the local database can support depends on
your platform.
