auth

Use the auth command to assign a default role for authenticated clients. This command is available from the vnsmode:<named-VNS> context.

After you run the auth command, run the apply command to implement the changes.

auth non-auth | role-name

Parameters

non-auth Use the default role for non-authenticated clients for authenticated clients.
role-name Specifies the name of the role to use as the default role for authenticated clients.

Usage

When you assign a default authenticated role to this VNS, the same rules apply as when a VNS is created. That is — if the VNS‘s WLAN Service has a mode of:

  • “std” then the referenced role must have a topology of mode “b@ap,” “b@ac,” or “routed”
  • “3pap” then the referenced role must have a physical topology mode

Examples

The following example specifies that the role named “auth-users” should be used as the default role for authenticated users for the VNS named VNS1:

EWC.extremenetworks.com:vnsmode:VNS1# auth auth-users

This example specifies that the same role used as the default role for non-authenticated users should be used for authenticated users for the VNS named VNS1:

EWC.extremenetworks.com:vnsmode:VNS1# auth non-auth
EWC.extremenetworks.com:vnsmode:VNS1# apply
