Controllerless Networks

Hello,

I have installed Freeradius tool on Ubuntu.

Added a test username and password to the "users" configuration file.

I started the the Freeradius server and internally tested for authentication using the command "radtest <username> <user-password> localhost 0 <radius-test-secret>" the radtest worked fine.

 

I added the freeradius as authentication server to the aruba virtual controller. Created an ssid and assigned to the freeradius server.

 

From the Aruba CLI I can ping to the radius server.

 

The controller doesn't seem to pass the authentication request to the freeradius server. Anyway to check this connection? (When I using aaa test-server .... got timeout)

 

Thanks in advance

Make sure that the shared key is the same on both side

Can you see anything in the logs on the Freeradius server side ?

Thanks for replay.

The shared key is the same.

Do you have a stand-alone controller or managed via the MM?



Thank you

Hi Hay,

 

Do you have a firewall blocking the radius traffic? FW on Ubuntu? Are you using the same ports (1812 or 1645) on both ends?

Standalone Aruba 303

FW on Ubuntu is disabled.

Using same ports 1812 on both ends!

Have you defined the RADIUS Client IP (so the AP or VC IP) within you RADIUS Server? This will allow the RADIUS Server to accept incoming RADIUS requests from the AP/VC IP.

How I can do that?

I've got no experience with daloRadius but Google says the following:

add into the file clients.conf

client P6-MOJO-1 {
    ipaddr = 192.168.130.20
    secret = strong-passphrase-here
}
