4.5.2.7 Internal Authentication Server Access Control Lists
When the internal RADIUS server is used for 802.1X EAP-TLS
authentication (refer to Section 4.5.2.4), an additional level of
security can be provided via an Access Control List (ACL).
The internal RADIUS ACL function is enabled when any ACL
entry is administered. Once the ACL is enabled, the Mesh
Point compares the X.509 digital certificates of 802.1X
authentication servers against the filter criteria in the ACEs
contained in the ACL, in the specified
Priority order. If no
match is found, access is denied. If a match is found, access is
allowed or denied according to the ACL entry’s
Access rule.
The ACEs available for inclusion on the ACL are created using
add ace,
and edited using update ace (see Section 4.3).
Once Access Control Entries have been created, they can be
added to the ACL using
add radius-acl.
# add radius-acl -name
<ACEname>
-access allow|deny -priority 1-100
You can configure up to 100 ACL entries to be applied in the
specified priority.
Name identifies the ACE that you want to add to the ACL. View
a list of available ACE names with
show ace (see Section 4.3).
Priority establishes the order in which the ACL entry will be
applied, from
1
to
100
, relative to other configured ACL entries.
Priority values must be unique. Entries with lower priority
numbers take precedence over those with higher priority
numbers.
Access determines whether the Mesh Point will
Allow
or
Deny
(the default) access to an authentication server whose X.509
certificate matches the criteria specified in the ACL entry.
View the entries in the RADIUS ACL using
show:
# show radius-acl
Prio Access ACE Name
---- ------ --------------------
1 allow Test4
5 allow Test2
50 allow Test1
99 allow Test3
--- Total ACLs: 4
Use del radius-acl to remove entries from the internal
RADIUS ACL.
NOTE: Deleting all
ACL entries dis-
ables the Radius ACL
function.
# del radius-acl -all|-name
<ACEname>
Deleted ACL entries no longer appear when you run show
radius-acl
.
