EAP Authentication of AP 3XX 4XX 5XX connected to XCA XCC

[PeterK]

Hi,

currently it’s not possible to push a 802.1X Config to APs from XCA / XCC as it works on identifi for years.

Is it possible to do a EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS Config (maybe via cli/ssh/scp) on Wing 7 APs, when running centalized mode?

Sorry but I gave up on WiNG.

If someone tells me that I’d need the CLI to config a WLAN installation then something is wrong with the product IMHO.

ECA is also not for me - as you’ve mentioned it should replace Identify but but there are sooo many features missing.

I think we’d all agree that CloudIQ is the future and the rest is…..

missing word:

So, I dont’t know if and maybe how it was possible that I could try this on a Wing 7 AP in centralized mode.

@Ronald Dvorak 

do you have a idea?

Hi Tomasz,

right.

I’ve never done this via CLI / Filetransfer on native identifi APs. I always used the controllers web gui for EAP config on the native identifi APs.

So, I dont’t if and maybe how it was possible that I could try this on a Wing 7 AP in centralized mode.

Hi Peter,

As far as I understand, “WiNG 7” APs ie. 3xx/4xx/5xx are dual-mode APs. In distributed mode (when they find WiNG controller or VC or XCA/XCC at which they belong to a distributed site*) they are booting with WiNG software. In centralized mode (when they find XCA/XCC at which they belong to a centralized site), they are booting IdentiFi software. This will determine what you can achieve through CLI of an AP itself.

* - there was something happening with Distributed Site support on XCA/XCC 4.76.01/4.76.02:

Hope that helps,

Tomasz

Hi Santosh,

I never tried distributed mode of XCA.

I will not run XCA / XCC as radius/nac.

I’m having a NAC / Extreme Control for authentication.

I will authenticate the APs via EAP and not only via MAC.

Extreme announces XCA / XCC as follow up product for identifi. But currently it’s unusable in enterprise enviroments because a lot function are still missing, which were available on identifi since years.
