Wireless Access

Hi everyone

I have a quick doubt. In order to configure a WLAN with WPA2-Enterprise authentication with a Windows NPS, is it required a PEF license?

According with ArubaOs 8.6 Licensing guide:

AP License: An AP license is required for each operational LAN-connected, mesh,or remote AP that is advertising at least one BSSID(virtual-AP).

PEF License: One operational AP using one or more Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) features, such as intelligent application identification, policy-based traffic management and controls, or stateful user firewalls.

And on the ArubaOS 8.6 User guide, on "Configuring 802.1X Authentication" step 2 explains how to configure a policy, but that won´t be available without PEF licenses.

Is that right? Is it necesary to purchase PEF licenses for an authentication that is going to be performed on another device?

Thanks in advance and regards

You can configure WPA2-Enterprise without PEF, but all users will obtain the same unfiltered role.

Hi cjoseph,

And that unfiltered role will let users access the network after the authentication?

Yes.

Thank you cjoseph,

I´ll test it on monday and I´ll let you know if it worked for me
