Configuring a Network Segmentation Group in the Cloudpath UI

In this section:

  1. Viewing the Network Segmentation Landing Page
    After you have configured the integrated system in the Cloudpath UI, and you have configured the Network Segmentation profile in SmartZone, a Network Segmentation group gets automatically created in Cloudpath.
  2. Creating an eDPSK Pool for a Property
    Before you can create a property to add to your Network Segmentation group, you need to create an eDPSK pool. Only one eDPSK pool must be assigned to a property.
  3. Creating a Property for a Network Segmentation Group
    Once you have created an eDPSK pool, you can create a property that uses that pool, and you can assign the property to a network segmentation group. You can also create additional properties (one pool per property), and assign those properties to the same (or different) network segmentation group.
  4. Adding Units to a Property of a Network Segmentation Group
    Once you have added a property to a network segmentation group, you can then add units to the property.
  5. How an Access Point or Access Switch Gets Assigned to a Unit
    Units that belong to properties that are part of a network segmentation group can be assigned either an access point (AP) or access switch (also referrred to as an "edge switch") to provide network connectivity. With an AP, you also assign an ethernet port to the unit. With an access switch, you assign a port on the switch and Cloudpath assigns a VLAN once the end user is authenticated.
  6. Viewing or Changing Information for a Configured Unit
    Once you have configured a unit, there is a lot of information about the unit that you can find useful.
  7. Using the Access Points Tab to View or Change an Assignment
    You can use the Access Points tab of the Managed Access > Network Segmentation portion of the Cloudpath UI to view assigned APs and ethernet ports, and to make any changes to these assignments.
  8. Using the Edge Ports Tab to View or Remove a Switch Port Assignment
    You can use the Edge Ports tab of the Managed Access > Network Segmentation portion of the Cloudpath UI to view switch port assignments to units or to remove a port assignment from a unit.
  9. Property Management Information
    Properties and units that belong to a network configuration group can be used in conjunction with the property management features that are described in the Cloudpath Enrollment System Property Management Administration Guide.
  10. Creating a Policy to Assign to eDPSK Pools (Optional)
    Before you create a DPSK pool for a property, you can configure policies that can be applied to eDPSK pools. Policies allow for mapping incoming successful RADIUS authentication requests to a set of RADIUS response attributes based on dynamic conditions of the request.
  11. Troubleshooting
    There are some basic troubleshooting steps you can try if the tenant of a unit that belongs to a network segmentation group is having difficulty connecting to the network.
