(RADIUS Server)
Overview
This guide describes how to configure and implement BYOD environment with the D-Link
DWS-3160 Unified Switch for user and device authentication.

How to Configure a BYOD Environment with the DWS-3160
Situation Note
The trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in working place is a new challenge on network security and
management. Many corporations that allow employees to use their own device at work expecting have
better performance and productivity; however, on the downside, corporations also concern the network
security and information leakage by using private device. How to distinguish corporate-provided device
and private device (BYOD device), and give different authorities is the major task for IT teams.
The scenario in this guide shows you how to implement a BYOD environment with single SSID on DWS-
3160 and external RADIU (FreeRADIUS) server. Use username, password, and device MAC info to assign
particular VLAN. All connection from the SSID required performing authentication before granted
authority.
The security protocol on SSID dlink_employee is WPA2 Enterprise. The authentication database is
external RADIUS server. In the RADIUS database, one user account includes username, password, and
device MAC address which is the corporate-provided. The authorized network is assigned based on
authentication information:
If authentication info matches username, password, and device MAC address of the user
account, the user is authorized in VLAN2 network.
If authentication info matches username and password, but it doesn’t match the device MAC
address (for example, use the Private NB to log on), the user is authorized in VLAN3 network.
If authentication info doesn’t match either username or password, the user doesn’t get any
access.
NOTE: The screenshots in this guide are from the DWS-3160’s firmware version 4.3.0.5. If you are using an earlier
version of the firmware, the screenshots may not be identical to what you see on your browser.

5-2-2-3. Run the following command to re-start PostgreSQL

How to Configure a BYOD Environment with the DWS-3160
---------------------------------
service postgresql restart
---------------------------------
5-2-3. Import FreeRADIUS schemas.
Create a default group and insert a test user into the database. Please copy the schema.sql file
which provide by D-Link to replace the existence one under /etc/raddb/sql/postgresql/.
---------------------------------
cd /etc/raddb/sql/postgresql/
chown root:radius schema.sql
---------------------------------
Use the command below to create the table schema for database.
----------------------------
sudo cat /etc/raddb/sql/postgresql/schema.sql | psql -U radius radius
----------------------------
5-2-4. Set the default attribute to the default group.

How to Configure a BYOD Environment with the DWS-3160
Please use commands below to add the 3 default attributes to default group.
The values need to change:
groupname: Define by user. We can only define one default vlan in the demo scenario.
default_vlan_id: Define by user. We can only define one default vlan in the demo scenario.
----------------------------
echo “insert into radgroupreply (groupname,attribute,op,value) values('groupname','Tunnel-
Private-Group-Id',':=','default_vlan_id');” | psql -U radius radius
----------------------------
----------------------------
echo “insert into radgroupreply (groupname,attribute,op,value) values('groupname',' Tunnel-
Type',':=','13');” | psql -U radius radius
----------------------------
----------------------------
echo “insert into radgroupreply (groupname,attribute,op,value) values('groupname',' Tunnel-
Medium-Type',':=','6');” | psql -U radius radius
----------------------------
In this case, set the default VLAN as VLAN3. While the authentication information matches
username/ password but doesn’t match MAC address, the RADIUS accepts the authentication but
assign attribute default VLAN, VLAN3, to this client. The setting information is as below.

5-2-5. Create accounts in the database.
Please use command below to create accounts (username/ password/ MAC address) in database
for testing users.
The values need to change:
Username: Define by user.
Groupname: Define by user. We can only define one default vlan in the demo scenario.
----------------------------
echo “insert into radusergroup (username,groupname,priority)
values('username','groupname','1');” | psql -U radius radius
---------------------------
The values need to change:
Username: Define by user.
Value: Password for user
---------------------------
echo "insert into radcheck (username,attribute,op,value) values ('test','Cleartext-
Password',':=','test');" |psql -U radius radius
---------------------------

The values need to change:
Username: Define by user.
Macaddr: MAC address of device
Vlanid: Define by user
---------------------------
echo “insert into radmacvlan (username,callingstationid,tunnelprivategroupid)
values('username','macaddr','vlanid');” |psql -U radius radius
---------------------------
In this case, set the username/ password are as test/ test. The MAC address is the one of the
corporate-provided NB (08:11:96:71:00:00). While three factors are matched, the RADIUS assign
attribute VLAN2 to this client. The setting information is as below.
6. Stop the firewall process on FreeRadius server

Configuration Steps (DGS-1210)
1. Set up VLANs based on the network architecture. Create three VLANs. VLAN1 is the default
VLAN for AP management and external RADIUS server, VLAN2 is for the user using corporate-
provided NB with full access on internal resources (for example, internet and printer), and
VLAN3 is for the user using private NB with limited access (for example, internet). As DWS-3160
VLAN1 is un-tag VLAN, set VLAN1 as un-tag VLAN on switch. The VLAN table is as below.
