set authentication last-resort 237
„
method1, method2, method3, method4 — At least one of up to four
methods that MSS uses to handle authentication. Specify one or more
of the following methods in priority order. MSS applies multiple
methods in the order you enter them.
A method can be one of the following:
„
local — Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on
the WX switch for authentication.
„
server-group-name — Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers
for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing
RADIUS server groups as methods.
For more information, see “Usage.”
Defaults — By default, authentication is unconfigured for all clients with
network access through MAP ports or wired authentication ports on the
WX switch. Connection, authorization, and accounting are also disabled
for these users. When using RADIUS for authentication, a last-resort
user’s default authorization password is 3Com.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — You can configure different authentication methods for
different groups of users by “globbing.” (For details, see “User Globs” on
page 26.)
You can configure a rule either for wireless access to an SSID, or for wired
access through a WX switch’s wired authentication port. If the rule is for
wireless access to an SSID, specify the SSID name or specify any to match
on all SSID names. If the rule is for wired access, specify wired instead of
an SSID name.
If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication
last-resort command, MSS applies them in the order in which they
appear in the command, with these results:
„
If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.
„
If the first method does not respond, MSS tries the second method,
and so on.
