Configuring a RADIUS server
pmp-0049 (September 2012)

Assigning SM management IP addressing via RADIUS
Operators may use a RADIUS AAA server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules
(framed IP address). SMs now interpret attributes Framed-IP-Address, Framed-IP-Netmask, and
Cambium-Canopy-Gateway from RADIUS. The RADIUS dictionary file has been updated to include
the Cambium-Canopy-Gateway attribute and is available on the Cambium Software Support website.
In order for these attributes to be assigned and used by the SM, the following must be true:
The Canopy system is configured for AAA authentication
The SM is not configured for DHCP on its management interface. If DHCP is enabled and these
attributes are configured in the RADIUS server, the attributes will be ignored by the SM.
The SM management interface must be configured to be publically accessible. If the SM is
configured to have local accessibility, the management interface will still be assigned the framed
addressing, and the SM will become publicly accessible via the assigned framed IP addressing.
When using these attributes, for the addressing to be implemented by the SM operators must
configure Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS. If Framed-IP-Address is not configured but Framed-
IP-Netmask and/or Cambium-Canopy-Gateway is configured, the attributes will be ignored. In
the case where only the Framed-IP-Address is configured, Framed-IP-Netmask defaults to
255.255.0.0 (NAT disabled) / 255.255.255.0 (NAT enabled) and Cambium-Canopy-Gateway
defaults to 0.0.0.0.
