9.2.4.15.1. Xirrus WiFi Arrays

Xirrus Access Points can quickly be configured to work with OpenNAC Enterprise, since Xirrus supports RADIUS assigned VLANs out of the box.

First, perform the RADIUS server configuration. Set the RADIUS server to be PacketFence’s IP:

radius-server  ! (global settings)
  !
  external
        primary     server 192.168.1.5
        primary     secret useStrongerSecret
        !
        accounting
          primary   server 192.168.1.5
          primary   secret useStrongerSecret
        exit
  exit
exit

Enable the SNMP Agent on the access point:

snmp
  !
  v2
        community read-write public
        community read-only public
  exit
  !
exit

Finally, don’t forget to create the ssid you want and the proper bindings with the LAN. Open SSID should be configured to perform MAC Authentication and Secure ssid should be configured to perform 802.1X (WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise).
