4 Set up a WM-AD for the “3rd-party AP” port:
In the WM Access Domain Configuration screen, add a new WM-AD. Then highlight the WM-AD
name in the left-hand list and click on the To p ol o gy tab.
In the Topology screen, select Assignment by SSID.
Click on the Use 3rd Party AP checkbox to select it.
Fill in the IP Address and MAC Address entry fields that appear on the right (the addresses of the
third party access points, and click on the Add button. They will appear in the list of access points
known to the Summit WM-Series Switch.
Follow the remaining steps described in the setting up a WM-AD for Captive Portal earlier in this
Guide.
5 Set up Authentication by Captive Portal for the “3rd-party AP” WM-AD:
Click on the Authentication tab. In the Authentication configuration screen, click the Captive Portal
radio button. In the Captive Portal portion of the screen, define the RADIUS Attributes and the Filter
IDs to match those in RADIUS.
NOTE
Alternatively, for third-party APs, you can define network assignment by AAA, and authentication by 802.1x. The
RADIUS requests from the third-party access point will flow through the Summit WM-Series Switch.
6 Set up filtering rules for the third-party APs:
Because the third-party APs are mapped to a physical port, you must define the Exception filters on
the physical port, using the Port Exception Filters screen. See “Port-based exception filters: user
defined” on page 39.
Define filtering rules that allow access to other services and protocols on the network such as HTTP,
FTP, Telnet, SNMP.
In addition, modify the following functions on the third-party access point:
● Disable the access point's DHCP server, so that the IP address assignment for any wireless device on
the AP is from the DHCP server at the Summit WM-Series Switch with WM-AD information.
