hello all, I'm using RFS4000 v5.1.0.0.74R and ap650. I'm trying to set a config with & WLAN with mac authentication for dynamic vlan assignment. Is this featured working in WINg5.1 ? My result is that radius is not used when authentication/mac is selected in WLAN/security. I see that all wifi clients are allowed to connect. I can see vlan load balancing, but not dynamic vlan. Option "allow radius vlan override"is checked. Logs do not show radius handshake for wifi clients. I'm awaiting to see wifi client affected to vlan depending on their mac address. I'm using on board controller What am l  missing for radius to run ?   I have attached the startup-config  file(mac-auth.txt). any idea ?

I have had trouble getting on-board RADIUS to work when my server policy is set as you have it with server type "onboard-controller".  Maybe someone from the BU can bring clarity to this, but I've been running my system with my server type set to "host" pointing it to the management IP of my RFS4000 (as we did in WiNG 4.x), and it is working well.  See my event log below from a test I ran this morning to show RADIUS VLAN override working for an EAP auth'd WLAN.  You can see my DRIOD successfully connecting to the same SSID using two different sets of EAP credentials and being placed onto the appropriate VLAN (read from bottom-up). 2011-07-05 09:48:07       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  DOT11      WPA_WPA2_SUCCESS     Client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' completed WPA2-AES handshake on wlan 'Dot1X' radio 'ap650LAB:R1' 2011-07-05 09:48:07       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  DOT11      EAP_SUCCESS          Client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' 802.1x/EAP (type:peap) authentication success on wlan 'Dot1X' radio 'ap650LAB:R1' 2011-07-05 09:48:07       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  AAA        RADIUS_VLAN_UPDATE   Assigning Radius server specified vlan 1 to client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' on wlan 'Dot1X' 2011-07-05 09:48:06       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  DOT11      CLIENT_ASSOCIATED    Client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' associated to wlan 'Dot1X' ssid 'Dot1X' on radio 'ap650LAB:R1' 2011-07-05 09:47:28       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  DOT11      CLIENT_DISASSOCIATED Client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' disassociated from wlan 'Dot1X' radio 'ap650LAB:R1': client initiated (reason code:1) 2011-07-05 09:45:40       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  DOT11      WPA_WPA2_SUCCESS     Client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' completed WPA2-AES handshake on wlan 'Dot1X' radio 'ap650LAB:R1' 2011-07-05 09:45:40       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  DOT11      EAP_SUCCESS          Client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' 802.1x/EAP (type:peap) authentication success on wlan 'Dot1X' radio 'ap650LAB:R1' 2011-07-05 09:45:40       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  AAA        RADIUS_VLAN_UPDATE   Assigning Radius server specified vlan 10 to client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' on wlan 'Dot1X' 2011-07-05 09:45:40       5C-0E-8B-33-77-B0  DOT11      CLIENT_ASSOCIATED    Client 'F8-7B-7A-50-E4-B8' associated to wlan 'Dot1X' ssid 'Dot1X' on radio 'ap650LAB:R1' So the feature works.  It sounds like your RADIUS authentication isn't even happening, so try changing your server type to "host". Also, It does not look like your RADIUS Groups are applied to your RADIUS Server Policy, and LDAP Group Verification doesn't appear to be enabled.  Once RADIUS auth is working, this may prevent the group assigned VLAN from being provided for RADIUS VLAN override to work.

Jared, I have radius server policy attached to rfs4000 device, then  radius server does not start (radius server timeout in the logs) When I attach radius server policy to a rfs4000 profile, radius server does start then, (both cases using onboard-controller). I will try the host config as well. I'm also missing ldap group verification. I will try mac authentication. could you post your startup-config please ?
