Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

    Introduction

    This document describes how to set up a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) with 802.1x security and Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) override.

    Prerequisites

    Requirements

    Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:

    • 802.1x
    • Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP)
    • Certification Authority (CA)
    • Certificates

    Components Used

    The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

    • WLC v8.3.102.0
    • Identity Service Engine (ISE) v2.1
    • Windows 10 Laptop 

    The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

    Background Information

    When you set up a WLAN with 802.1x security and VLAN, you can override with Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol as Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

    Configuration

    The general steps are:

    1. Declare RADIUS Server on WLC and vice versa to allow communication with each other.
    2. Create the Service Set Identifier (SSID) in the WLC.
    3. Create the authentication rule on ISE.
    4. Create the authorization profile on ISE.
    5. Create the authorization rule on ISE.
    6. Configure the endpoint.

    Declare RADIUS Server on WLC

    In order to allow communication between RADIUS server and WLC, you need to register RADIUS server on WLC and vice versa.

    GUI:

    Step 1. Open the GUI of the WLC and navigate to SECURITY > RADIUS > Authentication > New as shown in the image.

    Radius Authentication page on the WLC

    Step 2. Enter the RADIUS server information as shown in the image.

    Create a new RADIUS server on the WLC

    CLI:

    > config radius auth add <index> <a.b.c.d> 1812 ascii <shared-key>
> config radius auth disable <index>
> config radius auth retransmit-timeout <index> <timeout-seconds>
> config radius auth enable <index>

    <a.b.c.d> corresponds to the RADIUS server.

    Create SSID

    GUI:

    Step 1. Open the GUI of the WLC and navigate to WLANs > Create New > Go as shown in the image.

    Create a new WLAN

    Step 2. Choose a name for the SSID and profile, then click Apply as shown in the image.

    Enter new SSID profile details

    CLI:

    > config wlan create <id> <profile-name> <ssid-name>

    Step 3. Assign the RADIUS server to the WLAN.

    CLI:

    > config wlan radius_server auth add <wlan-id> <radius-index>

    GUI:

    Navigate to Security > AAA Servers and choose the desired RADIUS server, then hit Apply as shown in the image.

    Set a AAA server for the WLAN

      

    Step 4. Enable Allow AAA Override and optionally increase the session timeout

    CLI:

    > config wlan aaa-override enable <wlan-id> 
    > config wlan session-timeout <wlan-id> <session-timeout-seconds>

    GUI:

    Navigate to WLANs > WLAN ID > Advanced and enable Allow AAA Override. Optionally specify the Session Timeout as shown in the image.

    Set the session timeout

    Step 5. Enable the WLAN.

    CLI:

    > config wlan enable <wlan-id>

    GUI:

    Navigate to WLANs > WLAN ID > General and enable the SSID as shown in the image.

    Enable the WLAN

    Declare WLC on ISE

    Step 1. Open ISE console and navigate to Administration > Network Resources > Network Devices > Add as shown in the image.

    Add a network ressource device

    Step 2. Enter the values.

    Optionally, it can be a specified Model name, software version, description and assign Network Device groups based on device types, location or WLCs.

    a.b.c.d correspond to the WLC interface that sends the authentication requested. By default, it is the management interface as shown in the image.

    Set the RADIUS shared secret

    For more information about Network Device Groups:

    ISE - Network Device Groups

    Create New User on ISE

    Step 1. Navigate to Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users > Add as shown in the image.

    Add a User on ISE

    Step 2. Enter the information.

    In this example, this user belongs to a group called ALL_ACCOUNTS, but it can be adjusted as needed, as shown in the image.

    Define user credentials

    Create Authentication Rule

    Authentication rules are used to verify if the credentials of the users are correct (verify if the user really is who they say they are), and limit the authentication methods that are allowed to be used by it.

    Step 1. Navigate to Policy > Authentication as shown in the image.

    ISE policy authentication menu

    Step 2. Insert a new authentication rule as shown in the image.

    Insert a new authentication policy

    Step 3. Enter the values.

    This authentication rule allows all the protocols listed under the Default Network Access list. This applies to the authentication request for Wireless 802.1x clients, and with Called-Station-ID, and ends with ise-ssid as shown in the image.

    Define the policy details

    Also, choose the Identity source for the clients that match this authentication rule. This example uses Internal users identity source list as shown in the image.

    Chose internal users

    Once finished, click Done and Save as shown in the image.

    Save policy

    For more information about Identity sources consult this link:

    Create a User Identity Group

    Create Authorization Profile

    The authorization profile determines if you have access or not to the network. Push Access Control Lists (ACLs), VLAN override or any other parameter. The authorization profile shown in this example sends an access accept to you, and assigns VLAN 2404.

    Step 1. Navigate to Policy > Policy Elements > Results as shown in the image.

    Authorization results

    Step 2. Add a new Authorization Profile. Navigate to Authorization > Authorization Profiles > Add as shown in the image.

    Add authorization profile

    Step 3. Enter the values as shown in the image.

    Define the VLAN

    Create Authorization Rule

    The authorization rule is the one in charge to determine which permissions (which authorization profile) result is applied to you.

    Step 1. Navigate to Policy > Authorization as shown in the image.

    ISE authorization policy page

    Step 2. Insert a new rule as shown in the image.

    Insert a new authorization policy

    Step 3. Enter the values.

    First, select a name for the rule, and the identity group where the user is stored (ALL_ACCOUNTS) as shown in the image.

    Chose identity group

    After that, select other conditions that cause the authorization process to fall into this rule. In this example, the authorization process hits this rule if it uses 802.1x Wireless and its called station ID ends with ise-ssid as shown in the image.

    Set the condition

    Finally, select the Authorization profile that is assigned to you that hits that rule. Click Done and Save as shown in the image.

    Chose an authorization result

    Configuration of End Device

    Configure a laptop Windows 10 machine to connect to an SSID with 802.1x Authentication and PEAP/MS-CHAPv2 (Microsoft version of the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) Version 2.

    In this configuration example, ISE uses its self-signed certificate to perform the authentication.

    In order to create the WLAN profile on the windows machine, there are two options:

    1. Install the self-signed certificate on the machine to validate, and trust ISE server in order to complete the authentication.
    2. Bypass the validation of the RADIUS server, and trust any RADIUS server used to perform the authentication (not recommended, as it can become a security issue).

    The configuration for these options are explained on End device configuration - Create the WLAN Profile - Step 7.

    End Device Configuration - Install ISE Self-Signed Certificate

    Step 1. Export self-signed certificate.

    Log in to ISE and navigate to Administration > System > Certificates > System Certificates.

    Then choose the certificate used for EAP Authentication and click Export as shown in the image.

    Export ISE certificate

    Save the certificate in the needed location. That certificate must be installed on the windows machine as shown in the image.

    Export certificate

    Step 2. Install the certificate in the windows machine.

    Copy the certificate exported from ISE into the windows machine, change the extension of the file from .pem to .crt, and after that double click in order to install it as shown in the image.

    Install certificate

    Step 3. Select install it in Local Machine and click Next as shown in the image.

    Certificate import wizard

    Step 4. Select Place all certificates in this store, then browse and select Trusted Root Certification Authorities. After that, click Next as shown in the image.

    Chose certificate store

    Step 5. Then, click Finish as shown in the image.

    Complete the import wizard

    Step 6. Confirm the installation of the certificate. Click Yes as shown in the image.

    PEAP Security warning

    Step 7. Finally, click OK as shown in the image.

    Import successful

    End Device Configuration - Create the WLAN Profile

    Step 1. Right click on Start icon and select Control Panel as shown in the image.

    Windows control panel

    Step 2. Navigate to Network and Internet, and after that navigate to Network and Sharing Center, and click Set up a new connection or network as shown in the image.

    Setup network connection

    Step 3. Select Manually connect to a wireless network, and click Next as shown in the image.

    Chose manual connection

    Step 4. Enter the information with the name of the SSID and security type WPA2-Enterprise and click Next as shown in the image.

    Enter SSID information

    Step 5. Select Change connection settings in order to customize the configuration of the WLAN profile as shown in the image.

    Successfully added SSID

    Step 6. Navigate to Security tab and click Settings as shown in the image.

    PEAP settings

    Step 7. Select if RADIUS server is validated or not.

    If yes, enable Verify the server identity by validating the certificate and from Trusted Root Certification Authorities: list select the self-signed certificate of ISE.

    After that select Configure and disable Automatically use my Windows logon name and password..., then click OK as shown in the images.

    Verify the service certificate

    EAP MSCHAPv2 properties pop up

    Step 8. Configure the user credentials.

    Once back to Security tab, select Advanced settings, specify authentication mode as User authentication, and save the credentials that were configured on ISE in order to authenticate the user as shown in the images. 

    PEAP advanced settings

    Chose user or machine authentication

    Enter credentials

    Verify

    Use this section in order to confirm that your configuration works properly.

    The authentication flow can be verified from WLC or from ISE perspective.

    Authentication Process on WLC

    Run the next commands in order to monitor the authentication process for a specific user:

    > debug client <mac-add-client>
> debug dot1x event enable
> debug dot1x aaa enable
