Defining authentication for a WM-AD 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 Summit WM Controller to a RADIUS server.
NOTE
In order to use WPA with 802.1X authentication, network assignment must be AAA.
To define authentication by AAA (802.1X):
1 From the main menu, click WM Access Domain Configuration. The WM Access Domain
Configuration page is displayed.
2 In the left pane WM Access Domains list, click the WM-AD 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.
