Example for Configuring MAC Address Authentication

Example for Configuring MAC Address Authentication

Service Requirements

MAC address authentication is used to authenticate dumb terminals such as wireless network printers and wireless phones that cannot have an authentication client installed.

Networking Requirements

  • AC networking mode: Layer 2 bypass mode
  • DHCP deployment mode: The AC functions as the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to APs, and SwitchB functions as the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to STAs.
  • Service data forwarding mode: direct forwarding
  • Authentication mode: open system authentication

Configuration Roadmap

  1. Configure network interworking.
  2. Configure the AC and SwitchB to assign IP addresses to APs and STAs, respectively.
  3. Configure APs to go online.
  4. Configure MAC address authentication on the AC.
  5. Configure third-party server interconnection parameters.

The AC and server must have the same RADIUS shared key.

Configuration Notes

  • No ACK mechanism is provided for multicast packet transmission on air interfaces. In addition, wireless links are unstable. To ensure stable transmission of multicast packets, they are usually sent at low rates. If a large number of such multicast packets are sent from the network side, the air interfaces may be congested. You are advised to configure multicast packet suppression to reduce impact of a large number of low-rate multicast packets on the wireless network. Exercise caution when configuring the rate limit; otherwise, the multicast services may be affected.
    • In direct forwarding mode, you are advised to configure multicast packet suppression on switch interfaces connected to APs.
    • In tunnel forwarding mode, you are advised to configure multicast packet suppression in traffic profiles of the AC.
    For details on how to configure traffic suppression, see How Do I Configure Multicast Packet Suppression to Reduce Impact of a Large Number of Low-Rate Multicast Packets on the Wireless Network?.

  • Configure port isolation on the interfaces of the device directly connected to APs. If port isolation is not configured and direct forwarding is used, a large number of unnecessary broadcast packets may be generated in the VLAN, blocking the network and degrading user experience.

  • In tunnel forwarding mode, the management VLAN and service VLAN cannot be the same. Only packets from the management VLAN are transmitted between the AC and APs. Packets from the service VLAN are not allowed between the AC and APs.

Procedure

  1. Configure network interworking.

[SwitchB-Vlanif101] ip address 10.23.101.1 24
[SwitchB-Vlanif101] dhcp select interface
[SwitchB-Vlanif101] quit

  3. Configure APs to go online.

    # Create an AP group to which the APs with the same configuration can be added.

    [AC] wlan
[AC-wlan-view] ap-group name ap-group1
[AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] quit

Warning: Modifying the country code will clear channel, power and antenna gain configurations of the radio and reset the AP. Continue?[Y/N]:y  [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] quit
[AC-wlan-view] quit

    # Configure the AC's source interface.

    [AC] capwap source interface vlanif 100
    # Import the APs offline to the AC and add the APs to the AP group ap-group1. Configure names for the APs based on the AP locations, so that you can know where the APs are located. For example, if the AP with MAC address 60de-4476-e360 is deployed in area 1, name the AP area_1.

    The default AP authentication mode is MAC address authentication. If the default settings are retained, you do not need to run the ap auth-mode mac-auth command.

    In this example, the AP5030DN is used and has two radios: radio 0 and radio 1. Radio 0 and radio 1 operate on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands respectively.

    [AC] wlan
[AC-wlan-view] ap auth-mode mac-auth
[AC-wlan-view] ap-id 0 ap-mac 60de-4476-e360
[AC-wlan-ap-0] ap-name area_1

  4. Set the channels and power for AP radios.

    Automatic channel and power calibration functions are enabled by default. The manual channel and power configurations take effect only when these two functions are disabled. The settings of the AP channel and power in this example are for reference only. You need to configure the AP channel and power based on the actual country code and network planning.

    # Disable automatic channel and power calibration functions of radio 0, and configure the channel and power for radio 0.
    [AC-wlan-view] ap-id 0
[AC-wlan-ap-0] radio 0
[AC-wlan-radio-0/0] calibrate auto-channel-select disable
[AC-wlan-radio-0/0] calibrate auto-txpower-select disable

[AC-radius-wlan-net] quit

      # Create a RADIUS authentication scheme.

      [AC] aaa
[AC-aaa] authentication-scheme wlan-net
[AC-aaa-authen-wlan-net] authentication-mode radius
[AC-aaa-authen-wlan-net] quit
[AC-aaa] quit

    2. Configure a MAC access profile.

      In a MAC access profile, a MAC address without hyphens (-) is used as the user name and password for MAC address authentication.

      # Create the MAC access profile wlan-net.

      [AC] mac-access-profile name wlan-net
[AC-mac-access-profile-wlan-net] quit

    3. Create the authentication profile wlan-net and bind it to the MAC access profile, authentication scheme, and RADIUS server template.

      [AC] authentication-profile name wlan-net
[AC-authentication-profile-wlan-net] mac-access-profile wlan-net
[AC-authentication-profile-wlan-net] authentication-scheme wlan-net
[AC-authentication-profile-wlan-net] radius-server wlan-net
[AC-authentication-profile-wlan-net] quit

    4. Configure WLAN service parameters.

      # Create the security profile wlan-net and set the security policy in the profile.

      [AC] wlan
[AC-wlan-view] security-profile name wlan-net
[AC-wlan-sec-prof-wlan-net] security open
[AC-wlan-sec-prof-wlan-net] quit

      # Create the SSID profile wlan-net and set the SSID name to wlan-net.

      [AC-wlan-view] ssid-profile name wlan-net
[AC-wlan-ssid-prof-wlan-net] ssid wlan-net
[AC-wlan-ssid-prof-wlan-net] quit

      # Create the VAP profile wlan-net, configure the direct data forwarding mode and service VLANs, and bind the security profile, authentication profile, and SSID profile to the VAP profile.

      [AC-wlan-view] vap-profile name wlan-net

[AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-net] authentication-profile wlan-net
[AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-net] ssid-profile wlan-net
[AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-net] quit

      # Bind the VAP profile wlan-net to the AP group and apply the profile to radio 0 and radio 1 of the AP.

      [AC-wlan-view] ap-group name ap-group1
[AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] vap-profile wlan-net wlan 1 radio 0
[AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] vap-profile wlan-net wlan 1 radio 1
[AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] quit
[AC-wlan-view] quit

  6. Configure third-party server interconnection parameters.

    For the detailed configuration, see the related product documentation.

  7. Verify the configuration.

    • After dumb terminals associate with the WLAN, authentication is performed automatically. After the terminals pass authentication, they can access the network.

    • After dumb terminals associate with the WLAN, run the display access-user access-type mac-authen command on the AC. The command output shows that user huawei using the mac-authen authentication mode has successfully gone online.

      [AC] display access-user access-type mac-authen
