Configuring AAA for Network Users 433
Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
Configuring Portal Web-based AAA
To configure portal Web-based AAA:
1 Configure the user’s VLAN on the WSS switch, and configure an IP interface on the VLAN.The
interface must be in the subnet on which the DHCP server will place the user.
2 Set the fallthru authentication type to web-portal for all SSIDs and wired authentication ports through
which Web-based AAA users will access the network. The default for SSIDs is already web-portal.
However, the default for wired authentication ports is none.
3 Configure web-portal-ssid and web-portal-wired users. You must create a web-portal-ssid user for
each SSID. However, the web-portal-wired user is applicable to all wired authentication ports.
Set the VLAN-Name and Filter-Id attributes for these users. For the VLAN-Name, specify the VLAN in
which you want to place authorized Web-based AAA users. For Filter-Id, specify the portal ACL, and
map the ACL to the inbound traffic direction.
4 Configure individual Web-based AAA users. Because the VLAN is assigned based on the
web-portal-ssid or web-portal-wired user, WSS Software ignores the VLAN-Name and
Tunnel-Private-Group-ID attributes. However, WSS Software does assign other attributes if set.
5 Configure a last-resort authentication rule for each web-portal-ssid and web-portal-wired user.
6 Configure web authentication rules for the Web-based AAA users.
7 Save the configuration changes.
Portal Web-based AAA Configuration Example
This example configures portal Web-based AAA for wireless users of SSID mycorp. The web-portal-mycorp user and
the individual Web-based AAA users are configured in the local database. The default fallthru authentication type for
SSIDs is already web-portal, so this example does not include the command to set it.
1 Configure the user’s VLAN on ports 2 and 3, and configure an IP interface on the VLAN:
23x0# set vlan corpvlan port 2-3
success: change accepted.
23x0# set interface corpvlan ip 192.168.12.10 255.255.255.0
success: change accepted.
2 Configure user web-portal-mycorp for SSID mycorp, which Web-based AAA users will use to access
the network. Use the vlan-name attribute to assign the user to the VLAN corpvlan.
23x0# set user web-portal-mycorp attr vlan-name corpvlan
3 Assign the ACL web to the inbound traffic direction for user web-portal-mycorp:
23x0# set user web-portal-mycorp attr filter-id portalacl.in
4 Configure individual Web-based AAA users.
23x0# set user alice password alicepword
success: change accepted.
23x0# set user bob password bobpword
success: change accepted.
