We are done with the basic Cisco WLC configuration. We will now configure Cisco ISE to process RADIUS requests from the Cisco WLC.

Step 1

Follow the ISE Base Configurations: ISE Bootstrapping How-To Guide to add the Cisco WLC as a network access device to Cisco ISE.

Step 2

From Cisco ISE, navigate to Policy > Authentication.

Step 3

Expand the IF conditions for the MAB rule and select Add Condition from Library

Step 4

From the Select Condition drop-down menu, select Compound Condition > Wireless_MAB

Step 5

Expand the IF conditions for the Dot1X rule and select Add Condition from Library.

Step 6

From the Select Condition drop-down menu, select Compound Condition  Wireless_802.1X

Step 7

Save the settings

Cisco ISE is now ready to accept RADIUS requests originating from wireless networks. When it receives a RADIUS request from a wireless source, it will check to see if the authentication protocol is permitted or not. Typically, thedefault networks options allow all authentication protocols supported by Cisco ISE. The next step for Cisco ISE is to query the specified identity store to validate the credentials received.
