530 Configuring AAA for network users
NN47250-500 (320657-F Version 02.01)
Assigning a security ACL to a user or a group
Once a security access control list (ACL) is defined and committed, it can be applied dynamically and auto-
matically to users and user groups through the 802.1X authentication and authorization process. When you
assign a Filter-Id attribute to a user or group, the security ACL name value is entered as an authorization
attribute into the user or group record in the local WSS database or RADIUS server.
(For details about security ACLs, see “Configuring and managing security ACLs” (page 407).)
Assigning a security ACL locally
To use the local WSS database to restrict a user, a MAC user, or a group of users or MAC users to the permis-
sions stored within a committed security ACL, use the following commands:
You can set filters for incoming and outgoing packets:
•Use acl-name.in to filter traffic that enters the WSS from users via an AP access port or wired
authentication port, or from the network via a network port.
•Use acl-name.out to filter traffic sent from the WSS to users via an AP access port or wired
authentication port, or from the network via a network port.
For example, the following command applies security ACL acl-101 to packets coming into the WSS from user
Jose:
WSS# set user Jose attr filter-id acl-101.in
success: change accepted.
Note. If the Filter-Id value returned through the authentication and authorization process
does not match the name of a committed security ACL in the WSS, the user fails
authorization and cannot be connected.
