When dynamic RADIUS proxy is enabled, the VC network uses the IP Address of the VC for communication
with external RADIUS servers. Ensure that the VC IP Address is set as a NAS IP when configuring RADIUS
server attributes with dynamic RADIUS proxy enabled. For more information on configuring RADIUS server
attributes, see Configuring an External Server for Authentication on page 151.
In case of VPNdeployments, the tunnel IP received when establishing a VPN connection is used as the NASIP.
In such cases, the VC IP need not be configured for the external RADIUS servers.
In the CLI
To enable the dynamic RADIUS proxy feature:
(Instant AP)(config)# dynamic-radius-proxy
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Configuring Dynamic RADIUS Proxy Parameters
You can configure DRP parameters for the authentication server by using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure dynamic RADIUSproxy in the Instant UI:
1. Go to Security > Authentication Servers.
2. To create a new server, click New and configure the required RADIUSserver parameters as described in
Table 33.
3. Ensure that the following dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters are configured:
l DRP IP—IP address to be used as source IP for RADIUS packets.
l DRP Mask—Subnet mask of the DRP IP address.
l DRP VLAN—VLAN in which the RADIUS packets are sent.
l DRP Gateway—Gateway IP address of the DRP VLAN.
4. Click OK.
In the CLI
To configure dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan auth-server <profile-name>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# ip <IP-address>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# key <key>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# port <port>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# acctport <port>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# nas-id <NAS-ID>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# nas-ip <NAS-IP-address>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# timeout <seconds>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# retry-count <number>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# deadtime <minutes>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# drp-ip <IP-address> <mask> vlan <vlan> gateway
<gateway-IP-address>
(Instant AP)(Auth Server <profile-name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Associate Server Profiles to a Network Profile
To associate the authentication server profiles with a network profile:
1. Access the WLAN wizard or the Wired Settings window.
l To open the WLAN wizard, select an existing SSID on the Network tab, and click edit.
