Using Policies

In this section:

  1. Configuring Policies
    Policies allow for mapping incoming successful RADIUS authentication requests to a set of RADIUS response attributes based on dynamic conditions of the request. Each policy has an associated RADIUS attribute group which defines the RADIUS response attributes (such as VLAN ID, filter ID, and class). Each authentication is matched against an assigned list of candidate policies in sequential order. Criteria of a policy can include dynamic conditions such as a user's physical location, username, or the time of day.
  2. Adding Policies to RADIUS Server Configuration
    You can add as many policies as you want, but only one policy can be associated with a given user. For a user to successfully connect to the network, the user must be a match for at least one policy.
  3. Testing Policies
    You can test your policies to be sure they are working as desired before you implement them in a live environment.
  4. Viewing Policy Information
    To view your currently configured policies, go to Configuration > Policies in the UI, and be sure to highlight the Policies tab.
  5. Viewing RADIUS Attribute Information
    To view your currently configured RADIUS attribute groups, go to Configuration > Policies in the UI, and be sure to select the RADIUS Attribute Groups tab.
