Wifi User Authentication.

[shisheert]

    Dear Team,

We have cisco switch 2950 and 2960 in two office buildings. all the user in two buildings are using wifi. but now we want one level of authentication to user. means when a new user is created before using internet it must ask for username and password.

we have radiuse server (SBR) , juniper 8208 as core switch, connected to cisco switch 2950 and 2960, and normal wifi AP's,

How can i configure the cisco swiych so wifi request go to radius server for authentication.?

What type of AP are they? For Cisco aIOS this should work

they are normal AP , and we dont have wifi controller to forward wifi authentication request to radius erver.

we just do mac and ip binding in core switch.

but for username and password to user what should i do now ?

I would leverage your SBR to do EAP PEAP. This would require a user to have a login and password. As for requesting each time, most supplicant cache this but some can be configured to prompt each time.

To do this, google Cisco autonomous eap example.

Hope this helps

You can configure 802.1X authentication for this. Below is the link for the same.
