Chapter 12 Configuring WDS, Fast Secure Roaming, Radio Management, and Wireless Intrusion Detection Services
Configuring WDS
Step 14 Configure the list of servers to be used for 802.1x authentication for client devices. You can specify a
separate list for clients using a certain type of authentication, such as EAP, LEAP, PEAP, or MAC-based,
or specify a list for client devices using any type of authentication. Enter a group name for the server or
servers in the Server Group Name field.
The LEAP Authentication checkbox is present specifically for the Cisco clients identified below:
• Cisco Aironet 350 series cards using LEAP and EAP-FAST
• Cisco 7920, 7921, and 7925 phones using LEAP, EAP-FAST, PEAP, & EAP-TLS
• ADU using LEAP
Unchecking the LEAP Authentication checkbox prevents these client devices from connecting to a
wireless network, but does not prevent other client cards or supplicant combinations from connecting
because these clients use network-EAP for authentication under the various EAP types identified above.
All other clients use the 802.1x standard for open authentication.
The information above does not apply to non-Cisco clients.
Step 15 Select the primary server from the Priority 1 drop-down list. (If a server that you need to add to the group
does not appear in the Priority drop-down lists, click Define Servers to browse to the Server Manager
page. Configure the server there, and then return to the WDS Server Groups page.)
Step 16 (Optional) Select backup servers from the Priority 2 and 3 drop-down lists.
Step 17 (Optional) Select Restrict SSIDs to limit use of the server group to client devices using specific SSIDs.
Enter an SSID in the SSID field and click Add. To remove an SSID, highlight it in the SSID list and
click Remove.
Step 18 Click Apply.
Step 19 Configure the WDS access point for LEAP authentication. See Chapter 11, “Configuring Authentication
Types,” for instructions on configuring LEAP.
Note If your WDS access point serves client devices, follow the instructions in the “Configuring Access Points
to use the WDS Device” section on page 12-14 to configure the WDS access point to use the WDS.
CLI Configuration Example
This example shows the CLI commands that are equivalent to the steps listed in the “Configuring Access
Points as Potential WDS Devices” section on page 12-9:
AP# configure terminal
AP(config)# aaa new-model
AP(config)# wlccp wds priority 200 interface bvi1
AP(config)# wlccp authentication-server infrastructure infra_devices
AP(config)# wlccp authentication-server client any client_devices
AP(config-wlccp-auth)# ssid fred
AP(config-wlccp-auth)# ssid ginger
AP(config)# end
In this example, infrastructure devices are authenticated using server group infra_devices; client devices
using SSIDs fred or ginger are authenticated using server group client_devices.
For complete descriptions of the commands used in this example, consult the Cisco IOS Command
Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges.
