Configuring 802.1x Authentication
An AAA profile specifies the 802.1x authentication profile and 802.1x server group to be used for authenticating
clients for a WLAN. The AAA profile also specifies the default user role for 802.1x authentication.
For this example, you enable both 802.1x authentication and termination on the controller.

select 802.1x Authentication Profile.
a. In the Instance list, enter dot1x, then click Add.
b. Select the dot1x profile you just created.
c. Select Termination.
NOTE: The defaults for EAP Method and Inner EAP Method are EAP-PEAP and EAP-MSCHAPv2, respectively.

Configuring VLANs
In this example, wireless clients are assigned to either VLAN 60 or 61 while guest
users are assigned to VLAN 63.
VLANs 60 and 61 split users into smaller IP subnetworks, improving performance by decreasing broadcast traffic.
The VLANs are internal to the Dell controller only and do not extend into other parts of the wired network. The
clients’ default gateway is the Dell controller, which routes traffic out to the 10.1.1.0 subnetwork.
You configure the VLANs, assign IP addresses to each VLAN, and establish the “helper address” to which client
DHCP requests are forwarded.
