Chapter 9: Common Configuration Examples
3. To create a VLAN object for IT staff traffic, select the check box for the newly created VLAN object “VLAN-10” in the list on
the Configuration > Advanced Configuration > Network Objects > VLANs page, and then click Clone.
The VLANs dialog box appears with the settings for VLAN-10.
4.ForVLANName,enterVLAN-20;intheVLANIDfield,change10to20;modifytheDescriptionfieldtoVLANforITstaff;and
then click “Save.”
You can see the two newly created VLAN objects on the Configuration > Advanced Configuration > Network Objects >
VLANs page.
5. To create a user profile for employees, click “Configuration > User Profiles > New,” enter the following, leave the other settings
as they are, and then click “Save:”
Name: Emp(1)
Including the attribute number "(1)" as part of the user profile name is helpful when troubleshooting and when
configuring the RADIUS server. The name "Emp(1)" serves as reminder to use 1 as the Tunnel-Private-Group-ID attribute
when configuring the RADIUS server. SmartPath APs use a combination of three RADIUS attributes to determine which
user profile to assign to an authenticated user: Tunnel-Type = GRE (10), Tunnel-Medium-Type = IP (1), and Tunnel-Private-
Group-ID = <number>. If a SmartPath AP receives all three attributes and the third one matches a user profile attribute,
it then applies that user profile to traffic from the authenticated user. Including the attribute number in the user profile
name makes configuring the RADIUS server a bit simpler.
Attribute Number: 1
Default VLAN: VLAN-10
Description: For employees to use VLAN 10
6. To create a user profile for IT staff, select the check box of the user profile that you just created, "Emp(1)", and then click
Clone.
The User Profiles dialog box appears with the settings for Emp(1).
7. For Name, enter IT(2); for Attribute Number, enter 2; for Default VLAN, choose VLAN-20, modify the text in the Description
field to For IT staff to use VLAN 20, and then click Save.
SmartPath APs as RADIUS Authenticators
SmartPath AP RADIUS authenticators provide network access to wireless clients and pass authentication requests between the
wireless clients acting as RADIUS supplicants and a RADIUS authentication server. In this section, you configure the settings that
control how the SmartPath APs communicate with the RADIUS authentication server.
Click Configuration > Advanced Configuration > Authentication > AAA Client Settings > New, and enter the following:
RADIUS Name: RADIUS-10.1.1.10
This is a name for the RADIUS configuration object on SmartPath EMS VMA. Provide it with a useful name that easily
identifies it to you. The name can be up to 32 characters and cannot contain spaces.

In the RADIUS Servers section, enter the following to define the necessary network and security settings for making secure
connections with the RADIUS authentication server:
