Filtering rules for a VNS
Define the Filter ID values on this VNS
1. In the Virtual Network Configuration screen, highlight the VNS name and click on the RAD
Policy tab. For a VNS with AAA network assignment, the AAA version of the RADIUS
Policy screen appears.
1. In the Filter ID Values entry field, key in the name of a group that you want to define
specific filtering rules for, to control network access. Click on the Add button. The Filter ID
value appears in the list above. Repeat for additional Filter ID values.
These will appear in the Filter ID list in the Filtering screen. These Filter ID values must
match the those set up for the Filter-ID attribute in the RADIUS server.
2. To create and define a VNS Group within the selected parent VNS, key in the name in the
VNS Group Name field. Then click on the Add button.
The Group Name will appear as a child of the parent VNS in the left-hand list.
3. To save the Filter ID values and Group definition for this VNS, click on the Save button.
7.5 Filtering rules for a VNS
The next step is to configure the filtering rules for a VNS. Four types of filters are applied by the
HiPath Wireless Controller in the following order:
1. Exception filter, to provide the administrator optional additional flexibility in securing the
system and blocking Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, on any type of VNS.
2. Non-Authenticated filter, with restrictive filtering rules that apply before authentication, to
control network access and to direct users to a Captive Portal web page for login.
