When creating more than one role assignment rule, the first matching rule in the rule list is applied.
You can create a role assignment rule by using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
1. Navigate to the WLAN wizard or the Wired settings window:
l To configure access rules for a WLANSSID, in the Network tab, click New to create a new network
profile or edit to modify an existing profile.
l To configure access rules for a wired profile, go to More > Wired. In the Wired window, click New under
Wired Networks to create a new network or click Edit to select an existing profile.
2. Click the Access tab.
3. Under Role Assignment Rules, click New. The New Role Assignment window allows you to define a
match method by which the string in Operand is matched with the attribute value returned by the
authentication server.
4. Select the attribute that matches with the rule from the Attribute drop-down list. The list of supported
attributes includes RADIUS attributes, dhcp-option, dot1x-authentication-type, mac-address, and mac-
address-and-dhcp-options. For information on a list of RADIUS attributes, see RADIUS Server
Authentication with VSA on page 147.
5. Select the operator from the Operator drop-down list. The following types of operators are supported:
l contains—The rule is applied only if the attribute value contains the string specified in Operand.
l Is the role—The rule is applied if the attribute value is the role.
l equals—The rule is applied only if the attribute value is equal to the string specified in Operand.
l not-equals—The rule is applied only if the attribute value is not equal to the string specified in Operand.
l starts-with—The rule is applied only if the attribute value starts with the string specified in Operand.
l ends-with—The rule is applied only if the attribute value ends with the string specified in Operand.
l matches-regular-expression—The rule is applied only if the attribute value matches the regular
expression pattern specified in Operand. This operator is available only if the mac-address-and-dhcp-
options attribute is selected in the Attribute drop-down list. The mac-address-and-dhcp-options
attribute and matches-regular-expression are applicable only for the WLAN clients.
6. Enter the string to match the attribute in the String text box.
7. Select the appropriate role from the Role drop-down list.
8. Click OK.
When Enforce Machine Authentication is enabled, both the device and the user must be authenticated
for the role assignment rule to apply.
In the CLI

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role <attribute>{{equals|not-equals|starts-with|ends-
with|contains|matches-regular-expression} <operator><role>|value-of}
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure role assignment rules for a wired profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# wired-port-profile <name>
