20.1.34.4 Fabric Attach - Adding a WLAN 9100 FA Client with EAP
Device authentication via Identity Engines
Continuing from the base setup above, assuming we wish to add an FA client. For this example, we will
add a FA WLAN 9100 AP client and use Identity Engines to authenticate the AP and push down all the
VLAN and ISID combinations required.
The fa zero-touch-option setting of auto-port-mode-fa-client will automatically enable all the
various EAP MHSA settings and enable EAP on the Fabric Attach (FA) client ports when Fabric
Attached discovers a FA client. Once the FA client is discovered and authenticated against Identify
Engines (IDE), IDE will overwrite the port VLAN port membership.
Once the FA WLAN 9100 AP Client is authenticated using EAP MAC authentication on the ERS
4800 FA Proxy switch, all VLAN information on the port will be lost. Hence, the policy used on
Identity Engines will need to provision the management VLAN PVID in addition to the
management VLAN and ISID combination. This is in addition to enabling FA VLAN create and
adding all the user VLANs and ISID combinations required by the WLAN 9100 AP. Please see
the Outbound Attributes chart in the section titled “Identity Engines – Attribute Details”.
