3. Under Role Assignment Rules, click New. The New Role Assignment window allows you to define a
match method by which the string in Operand is matched with the attribute value returned by the
authentication server.
4. Select the attribute from the Attribute drop-down list that the rule it matches against. The list of
supported attributes includes RADIUS attributes, dhcp-option, dot1x-authentication-type, mac-address,
and mac-address-and-dhcp-options. For information on a list of RADIUS attributes, see RADIUS Server
Authentication with VSA on page 160.
5. Select the operator from the Operator drop-down list. The following types of operators are supported:
l contains— The rule is applied only if the attribute value contains the string specified in Operand.
l Is the role— The rule is applied if the attribute value is the role.
l equals— The rule is applied only if the attribute value is equal to the string specified in Operand.
l not-equals— The rule is applied only if the attribute value is not equal to the string specified in
Operand.
l starts-with— The rule is applied only if the attribute value starts with the string specified in Operand.
l ends-with— The rule is applied only if the attribute value ends with string specified in Operand.
l matches-regular-expression— The rule is applied only if the attribute value matches the regular
expression pattern specified in Operand. This operator is available only if the mac-address-and-dhcp-
options attribute is selected in the Attribute drop-down. The mac-address-and-dhcp-options
attribute and matches-regular-expression are applicable only for the WLAN clients.
6. Enter the string to match in the String text box.
7. Select the appropriate role from the Role drop-down list.
8. Click OK.
When Enforce Machine Authentication is enabled, both the device and the user must be authenticated
for the role assignment rule to apply.
In the CLI
To configure role assignment rules for a WLAN SSID:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role <attribute>{{equals|not-equals|starts-with|ends-
with|contains|matches-regular-expression} <operator><role>|value-of}
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name># end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure role assignment rules for a wired profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# wired-port-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# set-role <attribute>{{equals| not-equal| starts-with|
ends-with|contains}<operator> <role>| value-of}
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Example
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile Profile1
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile "Profile1")# set-role mac-address-and-dhcp-options matches-regular-
expression \bring\b Profile1
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile"Profile1")# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Understanding VLAN Assignment
You can assign VLANs to a client based on the following configuration conditions:
l The default VLAN configured for the WLAN can be assigned to a client.
