Defining authentication for a VNS for AAA

If network assignment is AAA with 802.1x authentication, the wireless device must successfully
complete the user authentication verification prior to being granted network access. This
enforcement is performed by both the user's client and the AP. The wireless device's client utility
must support 802.1x. The user's EAP packets request for network access along with login
identification or a user profile is forwarded by the HiPath Wireless Controller to a RADIUS
server.
To define authentication by AAA (802.1x)
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual Network
Configuration screen appears.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to set up authentication by
AAA for. The Topology tab is displayed.
3. Click the Auth & Acct tab. On the Auth & Acct tab, there are three options:
Auth – Use to define authentication servers.
●
MAC – Use to define servers for MAC-based authentication.
●
Acct – Use to define accounting servers.
