Executive Summary - Cisco 4402 - Wireless LAN Controller Using Manual

Executive Summary

UFS127 is a UNINETT Technical Specification prepared by UNINETT in co-operation with the HE
sector's work group for mobility, gc-mobilitet@uninett.no. The Technical Specification has received
final approval after a four-week open consultation period with the HE sector.
UFS127 is a guide to configuring eduroam, including IEEE 802.1X, in a Cisco controller-based
environment, i.e. a configuration based on one or more Cisco controllers which govern the traffic to
and from Cisco lightweight access points (LAP). The guide applies both to Cisco 5500 Series and
4400 Series controllers (WLC). Any differences in configuration between the 5500 Series and the
4400 Series are specified. In principle the guide will also apply to wireless systems provided by
suppliers other than Cisco.
The recommendation provides advice for network planning, the configuration of RADIUS, the
configuration of a controller, radio planning and the physical installation of access points. The
recommendation also includes a number of attachments, a "cookbook" for configuration based on
autonomous access points, configuration of Microsoft RADIUS servers and configuration of
FreeRADIUS.
