802.1X Wireless Service

Configure this service for wireless end-hosts connecting through any 802.11 802.11 is an evolving family of specifications for wireless LANs developed by a working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). 802.11 standards use the Ethernet protocol and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) for path sharing. wireless access device or controller, with authentication via IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. 802.1X 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security. 802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority.. To create a wireless service with rules are customized for a typical ArubaController deployment, see also Aruba 802.1X Wireless Service.

 

If you want to administer the same set of policies for wired and wireless access, you can combine the service rule to define one single service. The other option is to keep two services for wired and wireless access, but reuse the policy components (authentication methods, authentication source, authorization source, role mapping policies, posture policies, and enforcement policies) in both services.
