Use the use-zone command to enable or disable a policy zone at a called station. The use-zone command is accessible from the wlan:<WLAN-service-name>:auth context of the CLI.
After you run the use-zone command, run the apply command to implement the changes.
disable | Disables the policy zone on the specified WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). The AP radio MAC address is used as the BSSID. |
use-zone | The RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) client sends the AP Zone name as the BSSID instead of the radio MAC address. |
use-mac | The RADIUS client sends the AP Ethernet MAC as the BSSID instead of the radio MAC address. See Usage. |
You must enable authentication on the WLANS before the use-zone command is available. For more information, see mode.
use-zone allows the RADIUS client to send the AP Zone name as the BSSID instead of the radio MAC address. This feature can be enabled regardless of whether the Site is using centrally located or local RADIUS servers. Zone name is limited to 32 bytes. Each AP can have its own Zone label although it is often useful to assign the same Zone to multiple APs.
use-mac allows the RADIUS client to send the AP Ethernet MAC as the BSSID instead of the radio MAC address. This feature can be enabled regardless of whether the Site is using centrally located or local RADIUS servers. The AP MAC address value is always the AP LAN1 MAC address. This flag applies to all AP38xx, and AP39xx models in site and non-site mode. This feature can be enabled regardless of whether the Site is using centrally located or local RADIUS servers. The AP MAC value is always the AP LAN1 MAC address.
The following example enables the policy zone on the test WLAN:
EWC.extremenetworks.com:wlans:test:auth# use-zone use-zone EWC.extremenetworks.com:wlans:test:auth# apply EWC.extremenetworks.com:wlans:test:auth# show use-zone Use policy zone name in Called-Station-Id: enable
The following example allows the RADIUS client to send the AP Ethernet MAC as the BSSID instead of the radio MAC address.
EWC.extremenetworks.com:wlans:test:auth# use-zone use-mac EWC.extremenetworks.com:wlans:test:auth# apply
