Configuring a RADIUS server

Configuring a RADIUS server
Configuring a RADIUS server in a PMP 450 network is optional, but can provide added security,
increase ease of network management and provide usage-based billing data.
Understanding RADIUS for
PMP 450
RADIUS
Functions
RADIUS protocol support provides the
following
functions:
SM Authentication allows only known SMs onto the network (blocking
―rogue‖
SMs), and can be
configured to ensure SMs are connecting to a known
network
(preventing SMs from connecting
to ―rogue‖ APs). RADIUS authentication is
used
for SMs,
but
is not used for APs.
SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), High
Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when an SM registers to
an AP.
SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This
accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session
disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP.
Centralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP
and
SM usernames and
access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to
be
centrally
administered in the RADIUS
server instead of on each radio and tracks
access
events (logon/logoff) for each username on the
RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and
report
specific configuration actions
performed on radios or pull statistics such as
bit
counts from the radios. Such functions require
an Element Management
System
(EMS) such as Cambium Networks Wireless Manager. This
accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end
user/customer
account.
Framed IP
allows o
perators to use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM
modules (framed IP address).
Tested RADIUS Servers
The Canopy RADIUS implementation has been tested and is supported
on
FreeRADIUS, Version
2.1.8
Aradial RADIUS, Version
