Hybrid-Reap Groups And Local Authentication; Using The Gui To Configure Hybrid-Reap Groups - Cisco 2100 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 13 Configuring Hybrid REAPWireless Device Access

Hybrid-REAP Groups and Local Authentication

You can configure the controller to allow a hybrid-REAP access point in standalone mode to perform
LEAP or EAP-FAST authentication for up to 100 statically configured users. The controller sends the
static list of usernames and passwords to each hybrid-REAP access point when it joins the controller.
Each access point in the group authenticates only its own associated clients.
This feature is ideal for customers who are migrating from an autonomous access point network to a
lightweight hybrid-REAP access point network and are not interested in maintaining a large user
database nor adding another hardware device to replace the RADIUS server functionality available in
the autonomous access point.
This feature can be used in conjunction with the hybrid-REAP backup RADIUS server feature. If a
Note
hybrid-REAP group is configured with both a backup RADIUS server and local authentication, the
hybrid-REAP access point always attempts to authenticate clients using the primary backup RADIUS
server first, followed by the secondary backup RADIUS server (if the primary is not reachable), and
finally the hybrid-REAP access point itself (if the primary and secondary are not reachable).
Follow the instructions in this section to configure hybrid-REAP groups using the controller GUI or CLI.

Using the GUI to Configure Hybrid-REAP Groups

Follow these steps to configure hybrid-REAP groups using the controller GUI.
Step 1 Click Wireless > HREAP Groups to open the HREAP Groups page (see
