Chapter 4 Configure the Network with Omada SDN Controller Enable 802.1X Configure RADIUS Profile and Parameters Select the Ports Select the ports to enable 802.1X authentication or MAB for them. To enable 802.1X authentication, click the unselected ports. 802.1X-enabled ports will be marked with . To enable MAB, click the ports marked with . You can enable MAB only on 802.1X-enabled ports. MAB-enabled ports will be marked with . Note: • You are not recommended to enable 802.1X authentication on the switch ports which connects to network devices without 802.1X capability like the router and APs. • The switch authenticates wired clients which connect to the port with 802.1X enabled. And the gateway authenticates wired clients which connect to the network with Portal configured. Wired clients should pass Portal and 802.1X authentication to access the internet when both are configured. 4. 9. 3 MAC-Based Authentication Overview MAC-Based Authentication allows or disallows clients access to wireless networks based on the MAC addresses of the clients. In this authentication method, the controller takes wireless clients' MAC addresses as their usernames and passwords for authentication. The RADIUS server authenticates the MAC addresses against its database which stores the allowed MAC addresses. Clients can access the wireless networks configured with MAC-based authentication after passing authentication successfully. Note: Both MAC-Based Authentication and Portal authentication can authenticate wireless clients. If both are configured on a wireless network, a wireless client needs to pass MAC-Based Authentication first and then Portal authentication for internet access. You can enable MACBased Authentication Fallback to allow clients bypass MAC-Based Authentication, which means the client needs to pass either of the two authentication. The client tries MAC-Based Authentication first, and is allowed to try portal authentication if it failed the MAC-Based Authentication. Configuration 1.
