authentication protocol [chap|mschap|mschapv2|pap]

authentication server <1-6> dscp <0-63>

authentication server <1-6> host <IP/HOSTNAME> secret [0 <SECRET>|2 <SECRET>|

<SECRET>] {port <1-65535>}

authentication server <1-6> nac

retry-timeout-factor
<50-200>

Configures the spacing between successive EAP retries

<50-200> – Specify a value from 50 - 200. The default is 100.

A value of 100 indicates the interval between two consecutive retires remains the same irrespective of the
number of retries.
A value lesser than 100 indicates the interval between two consecutive retries reduces with each
successive retry.
A value greater than 100 indicates the interval between two consecutive retries increases with each
successive retry.

timeout <1-60>

Configures the interval, in seconds, between successive EAP-identity request sent to a wireless client

<1-60> – Specify a value from 1 - 60 seconds.

protocol
[chap|mschap|
mschapv2|pap]

Configures one of the following protocols for non-EAP authentication:

chap – Uses Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)

mschap – Uses Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP)

mschapv2 – Uses MS-CHAP version 2

pap – Uses Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) (default authentication protocol used)

server <1-6>

Configures a RADIUS authentication server. Up to 6 RADIUS servers can be configured.

<1-6> – Specify the RADIUS server index from 1 - 6.

dscp <0-63>

Configures the Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) quality of service parameter generated in RADIUS
packets. The DSCP value specifies the class of service provided to a packet, and is represented by a 6-bit
parameter in the header of every IP packet. The default is 46.

server <1-6>

Configures a RADIUS authentication server. Up to 6 RADIUS servers can be configured.

<1-6> – Specify the RADIUS server index from 1 - 6.

host <IP/HOSTNAME>

Sets the RADIUS authentication server’s IP address or hostname

secret
[0 <SECRET>|
2 <SECRET>|
<SECRET>]

Configures the RADIUS authentication server’s secret. This key is used to authenticate with the RADIUS
server.

0 <SECRET> – Configures a clear text secret

2 <SECRET> – Configures an encrypted secret

<SECRET> – Specify the secret key. The shared key should not exceed 127 characters.

port <1-65535>

Optional. Specifies the RADIUS authentication server’s UDP port (this port is used to connect to the
RADIUS server)

<1-65535> – Specify a value from 1 - 65535. The default port is 1812.

server <1-6>

Configures a RADIUS authentication server. Up to 6 RADIUS servers can be configured.

<1-6> – Specify the RADIUS server index from 1 - 6.

nac

Enables Network Access Control (NAC) on the RADIUS authentication server identified by the
<1-6> parameter.
Using NAC, the controller hardware and software grant access to specific network resources. NAC performs
a user and client authorization check for resources that do not have a NAC agent. NAC verifies the client’s
compliance with the controller’s security policy. The controller supports only the EAP/802.1x type of NAC.
However, the controller also provides a means to bypass NAC authentication for client’s that do not have
NAC 802.1x support (printers, phones, PDAs etc.).
