MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

To make use of this feature you need to define a local user account or a RADIUS user account for
each device as follows:
• username: Set this to the username you specified in the mac-address value string. If no username
is specified, set the account name to the MAC address of the device. Use dashes to separate
characters in the address. For example: 00-20-E0-6B-4B-44.
• password: Set this to the password you specified in the mac-address value string. If no password
is specified, set this to the same password that is used for the user account.
NOTE: The username and password are not encrypted for transmission so it is important that the
link with the RADIUS server is secure.
NOTE: Global MAC-based authentication only applies to VSCs that have HTML-based
authentication enabled.
Syntax
mac-address=address [,username [,password ]]
Where:
DescriptionParameter
Specify the MAC address of the device to authenticate. Use dashes to separate characters
in the address. Do not use colons (:). For example: 00-20-E0-6B-4B-44.
address
Specify the username to associate with this MAC address. Maximum 32 alphanumeric
characters. The username field cannot contain a comma.

password
Example
Consider the scenario where several APs are installed with a controller. If the APs are going to
perform software updates from a remote Web or FTP server, they will need to log in to the public
access network. By using MAC-based authentication, this can easily be accomplished.
Multiple login servers
This feature lets you dynamically set the URL used for retrieving custom external pages or a remote
login page based on the status of a primary or secondary Web server.
Syntax
primary-web-server-status-url=URL_of_page
secondary-web-server-status-url=URL_of_page
Where:
DescriptionParameter
Specify the URL that points to the Web server status file. Use HTTP or HTTPS with a port number if
required.
URL_of_page
The status file must contain the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
