Configuring a RADIUS server

Assigning SM management IP addressing via RADIUS
Operators may use a RADIUS AAA server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules (framed
IP address). SMs now interpret attributes Framed-IP-Address, Framed-IP-Netmask, and Cambium-
Canopy-Gateway from RADIUS. The RADIUS dictionary file has been updated to include the Cambium-
Canopy-Gateway attribute and is available on the Cambium Software Support website.
In order for these attributes to be assigned and used by the SM, the following must be true:
•
The system is configured for AAA authentication
•
The SM is
not
configured for DHCP on its management interface. If DHCP is enabled and these
attributes are configured in the RADIUS server, the attributes is ignored by the SM.
•
The SM management interface must be configured to be publically accessible. If the SM is
configured to have local accessibility, the management interface will still be assigned the framed
addressing, and the SM iscome publicly accessible via the assigned framed IP addressing.
•
When using these attributes, for the addressing to be implemented by the SM operators must
configure Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS. If Framed-IP-Address is not configured but Framed-IP-
Netmask and/or Cambium-Canopy-Gateway is configured, the attributes is ignored. In the case
where only the Framed-IP-Address is configured, Framed-IP-Netmask defaults to 255.255.0.0 (NAT
disabled) / 255.255.255.0 (NAT enabled) and Cambium-Canopy-Gateway defaults to 0.0.0.0.
Configuring RADIUS server for SM configuration
Canopy Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) along with VSA numbers and other details are listed in Table
91. The associated SM GUI page, tab and parameter are listed to aid cross-referencing and
understanding of the VSAs.
A RADIUS dictionary file is available from the software site:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450
The RADIUS dictionary file defines the VSAs and their values and is usually imported into the RADIUS
server as part of server and database setup.
