3) Configuring the RADIUS supplicant on the access point:
In order for the access point to be able to authenticate at the RADIUS server of the WLAN controller, the authentication method must be set and user data have to be set for logging in. This example uses the authentication method TLS. The user data of the access point were configured on the WLAN controller in step 1.4.
2.1) Open a Telnet or SSH session on the access point and go to the path Supplicant-Ifc-Setup:
cd /Setup/LAN/IEEE802.1x/Supplicant-Ifc-Setup
2.2) Go to the path for the LAN interface. For this example we are using interface LAN-1.
cd LAN-1
2.3) Use the following command to set the user data for authentication at the RADIUS server:
set credentials <username>:<password>
In this example, the command is set credentials ap1:ap1
2.4) Use the following command to set the authentication method as PEAP/MSCHAPv2:
set Method PEAP/MSCHAPv2

As an alternative, you can use the following script to upload the changes to the access point with LANconfig. Please be sure to add the relevant username and password to the file first. |
