Configuring Access Rules for a WLAN SSID Profile

This section describes the procedure for configuring security settings for employee and voice network only. For information on guest network configuration, see Captive Portal for Guest Access.

 

If you are creating a new SSID profile, complete the WLAN Settings and configure VLAN and security parameters, before defining access rules. For more information, see Configuring WLAN Settings for an SSID Profile, Configuring VLAN Settings for a WLAN SSID Profile, and Configuring Security Settings for a WLAN SSID Profile.

You can configure up to 128 access rules for an employee, voice , or guest network using the Instant UI or CLI.

In the Instant UI

To configure access rules for an employee or voice network:

1. In the Access Rules tab, set slider to any of the following types of access control:
Unrestricted— Select this to set unrestricted access to the network.
Network-based— Set the slider to Network-based to set common rules for all users in a network. The Allow any to all destinations access rule is enabled by default. This rule allows traffic to all destinations. To define an access rule:
a. Click New.
b. Select appropriate options in the New Rule window.
c. Click OK.
Role-based— Select Role-based to enable access based on user roles. For role-based access control:
n Create a user role if required. For more information, see Configuring User Roles.
n Create access rules for a specific user role. For more information, see Configuring Access Rules for Network Services. You can also configure an access rule to enforce captive portal authentication for an SSID that is configured to use 802.1X authentication method. For more information, see Configuring Captive Portal Roles for an SSID.
n Create a role assignment rule. For more information, see Configuring Derivation Rules.
2. Click Finish.

In the CLI

To configure access control rules for a WLAN SSID:

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan access-rule <name>

(Instant AP)(Access Rule <name>)# rule <dest> <mask> <match> {<protocol> <start-port> <end-port> {permit|deny|src-nat|dst-nat{<IP-address> <port>| <port>}}| app <app> {permit| deny}| appcategory <appgrp>| webcategory <webgrp> {permit| deny}| webreputation <webrep> [<option1....option9>]

(Instant AP)(Access Rule <name>)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply

To configure access control based on the SSID:

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role-by-ssid

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply

To configure role assignment rules:

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role <attribute>{{equals|not-equals|starts-with|ends-with|contains|matches-regular-expression}<operator><role>|value-of}

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply

To configure a pre-authentication role:

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role-pre-auth <pre-authentication-role>

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply

To configure machine and user authentication roles

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role-machine-auth <machine-authentication-only> <user-authentication-only>

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply

To configure unrestricted access:

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role-unrestricted

(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply

Example

The following example configures access rules for the wireless network:

(Instant AP)(config)# wlan access-rule WirelessRule

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule 192.0.2.2 255.255.255.0 match 6 4343 4343 log classify-media

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match app deny throttle-downstream 256 throttle-up 256

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match appcategory collaboration permit

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match webcategory gambling deny

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match webcategory training-and-tools permit

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match webreputation well-known-sites permit

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match webreputation safe-sites permit

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match webreputation benign-sites permit

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match webreputation suspicious-sites deny

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# rule any any match webreputation high-risk-sites deny

(Instant AP)(Access Rule "WirelessRule")# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply
