Frequently Asked Questions - AX411 Juniper

What are the key features of the Juniper AX411 access point?
The AX411 is a dual-band, dual-radio 802.11a/b/g/n access point supporting up to 32 virtual access points (VAPs), PoE power, and centralized management via Juniper SRX Series gateways. It offers multiple authentication methods including MAC filtering, RADIUS, 802.1X, and WPA-Enterprise.
How is the AX411 managed?
The AX411 is managed from a Juniper SRX Series Services Gateway using Junos OS. Configuration, monitoring, and firmware upgrades are performed through the SRX CLI, J-Web, or SNMP. The AP registers with the SRX using its MAC address.
Can the AX411 be used without PoE?
Yes, if PoE is not available, the AX411 can be powered using the included external 12V DC power supply.
What deployment modes are supported?
The AX411 supports two management modes: Layer 2 (all APs on the same subnet) and Layer 3 (each AP on a different subnet). Traffic forwarding can be either L2 bridged or L3 routed, with corresponding trade-offs in performance and features.
How many virtual access points can be configured?
Each radio supports up to 16 VAPs, for a total of 32 per AP. Each VAP can have its own SSID, security settings, and VLAN assignment.
What authentication methods does the AX411 support?
It supports local MAC address filtering, RADIUS-based MAC authentication, 802.1X with RADIUS, WPA-Enterprise, and firewall authentication with a captive portal for guest networks.
Can I assign different VLANs to different users on the same SSID?
Yes, using RADIUS-based VLAN assignment. The RADIUS server can send Tunnel-Private-Group-ID attributes to place each authenticated user into a specific VLAN.
How do I upgrade the firmware on the AX411?
Firmware upgrades are initiated from the SRX gateway. Load the new image onto the SRX flash and use the command request wlan access-point firmware upgrade to update one or all APs.
What monitoring commands are available?
Use show wlan access-points for a summary, show wlan access-points detail for AP details, show wlan access-points neighbors for nearby APs, and show wlan access-points client-associations for connected clients.
Does the AX411 support clustering?
Yes, starting with Junos OS 10.1, multiple AX411 APs can be grouped into a cluster sharing the same configuration. This simplifies management and allows roaming without re-authentication (if using MAC auth).

Introduction

Juniper Networks ^a has introduced a wireless access point solution that is integrated into Juniper Networks SRX Series Service Gateways. This new product line allows for a simple deployment of Wi-Fi networks in the branch while leveraging the advanced capabilities of Juniper's services gateways for AP Management. SRX Series for the branch includes the ability to provide advanced security services like unified threat management (UTM), intrusion prevention system (IPS), firewalling, unified access control, and VPNs.

Scope

The purpose of this application note is to provide an overview of the different deployment scenarios for Juniper's Wi-Fi solution for the branch. This application note begins by detailing the capabilities of the Juniper Networks AX411 Wireless Access Point and how it is configured. The final sections of this application note provide some typical deployment scenarios and their configurations.

Design Considerations

SRX Series Services Gateways are used to monitor and configure the AX411 access points. These devices support Power over Ethernet (PoE) and can be powered by SRX Series gateways that support PoE. Alternatively, an external power supply is provided with each access point that can be used when PoE is not available.

Hardware Requirements

- Juniper Networks SRX Series for the branch (SRX100 line and SRX200 line of services gateways, and the SRX650 Services Gateway)

Software Requirements

- Juniper Networks Junos ^18 operating system release 10.0 or later

Description and Deployment Scenario

AX411 Features

The AX411 access point provides support for a wide range of features and protocols targeted for small to medium sized deployments in branch offices. For larger deployments of more than 4 access points, or where location services are desired, the Juniper Networks WLA and WLC Product line are recommended. The following table summarizes some of the most important characteristics of this product.

Operational Model

The AX411 access points are managed from branch SRX Series Services Gateways, allowing for a simpler, centralized provisioning model. In particular, the following operations can be performed directly from the SRX Series gateways.

  • Configuration management: The entire configuration for all AX411s are performed within JunOS at the branch gateway and pushed to the access points using a secure connection to the AX411 device. The Junos OS infrastructure is used to provide configuration backup and restore, auditing, scripting, role-based authentication, etc.
  • Monitoring: Access points are monitored from the services gateway, including the ability to obtain device and wireless network information from the command-line interface (CLI), J-Web Software, or SNMP.
  • Device maintenance: Device maintenance support includes firmware upgrades.

When an access point is connected to a branch gateway for the first time, it requests an IP address using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). After obtaining an IP address, a registration protocol is used to exchange configuration and status information between the devices.

The SRX Series gateway uses the media access control (MAC) address received in the registration messages to identify each access point. The advantage of using this approach is that access points can be connected to any port or given any IP address while still being correctly identified since MAC addresses are fixed.

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used as a "keepalive" protocol between each access point and the SRX Series gateway. If an access point detects a failure, it automatically stops broadcasting any service set identifier (SSID) that it has configured, thus allowing the client stations to associate to a different access point and circumvent the failure.

Access points can be managed in two different modes.

• Layer 2 management mode
- Layer 3 management mode

L2 Management Mode

The default and most common mode is to connect all access points to the same L2 network. A single routed VLAN interface (RVI) is configured per VLAN, which is used as the default gateway for the VLAN. This RVI is then added to a security zone. Access point to access point traffic can be forwarded at L2. The gateway can do so at line rate, without the need to inspect such traffic. Traffic from wireless nodes connected to the access point will be inspected by the SRX security gateway. In this configuration the SRX acts as a DHCP server for the VLAN, and both APs and wireless endpoints obtain their IP address from this DHCP scope.

Figure 2: L3 management mode

Analogous to these, customer traffic can be forwarded using either one of these modes on a per access point basis, i.e., any given access point can be connected to the gateway either in L2 or L3 mode. With this in mind, it is important to understand the different tradeoffs between these modes.

Table 2: L2 vs. L3 Forwarding Mode

FEATURE L2 MODE L3 MODE
Access point to access point communication (and client to client communication when clients are in different access points)Done in hardware at line rate but without any security inspection.Firewall and UTM services are available, but at the expense of forwarding performance.
Firewall authentication Not supported for L2 switched traffic. Yes
Client to client isolation Not always possible (proxy-arp can be used to force all client to client traffic to be sent to the gateway, where security policies can be enforced).Yes
QoS Not supported for client to client traffic. Yes
Configuration complexity Simpler configuration, since a single L3 interface is shared between all access points.Complex, as each access point is connected to a different L3 interface, with each requiring the configuration of an IP address, a DHCP server, security zones, and policies.
Roaming Client roaming is supported, if MAC authentication or no authorization protocol is used. If authentication is used, clients will have to log in every time they associate to a new access point.Roaming will require clients to send a new DHCP request in order to obtain a new IP address.

Configuration

The configuration is found under [wlan] hierarchy. In Junos OS release 10.0, each access point has to be configured individually. Junos OS 10.1 includes the ability to group access points into clusters, where all access points share the same configuration. Access points in a cluster exchange both configuration and operational information and do not require operators to make changes to each individual access point. The clustering feature will be discussed in a future version of this document.

}
virtual-access-point <0..15> {
#virtual-access-point configuration options including SSID, security
#and http redirect options
}
} 

The configuration is divided into three sections—the external, radio, and options sections.

The external section is used to specify the basic access point parameters used to manage the device, including its address (when DHCP is not used), VLAN ID used for management traffic, and native VLAN ID (i.e., VLAN ID used for untagged traffic).

In order to comply with the different regulatory domains, each access point must be configured with the name of the country where it is being deployed. This is done under the access point options, and it is used to determine the range of channels and maximum transmit power allowed in that domain.

Finally, all radio, client authentication, and SSID options are configured under the radio section. The following deployment scenarios will show some typical configurations, and they will be used to introduce some of the configuration options available.

RADIUS Support

One or more (for redundancy purposes) RADIUS servers can be used to authenticate users. When a user is granted access, the RADIUS protocol provides a mechanism to pass user-specific parameters to the access point. These parameters allow passing per-user configuration options, centrally managed by the RADIUS server.

The following table displays the list of RADIUS attributes that can be passed to the AX411 access point, as specified in RFC 3580.

Description and Deployment Scenarios

We will start by configuring basic access point management access for both L2 and L3 modes. These configurations will be used as the starting point in subsequent scenarios.

L2 Management Mode

In this mode, all access points are connected to the SRX Series for the branch by means of an Ethernet switched network, either using an external switch or the ports on the SRX Series gateway configured for switching. A single L3 interface is used to provide connectivity to all of the access points. This interface also serves as the default gateway for the wireless clients.

For completeness, security policies, Network Address Translation (NAT), and untrust interface configurations required to allow traffic from the access points to the Internet are included in this configuration. To avoid unnecessary repetitions and unless explicitly noted, our next examples will omit these sections from the configuration.

Enable PoE if you will be using that to power the AX411.

The AX411 access points use the concept of a Virtual Access Point (VAP). A VAP appears to the wireless client as a single independent access point, advertising a single service set identifier (SSID). In our first configuration, only a single SSID is advertised and this signifies that a single VAP on each radio is being used.

L3 Management Mode

In this mode, each access point is connected to a different L3 interface. Since each interface belongs to a different subnet, clients will get their addresses assigned from a pool based on the access point to which they are associated.

Segregating User and Management Traffic

In this example, VLAN tags are used to separate management traffic from user traffic. This configuration can be applied to both L2 and L3 deployment modes. From this example on, only the L2 mode will be shown (as it is the most popular method) but it should be apparent from our previous example how to configure each scenario in L3 mode.

MAC Authentication

Building on our previous scenario, we will now assume that some basic form of authentication is required. If the number of devices in the network is small, and over the air confidentiality is not a requirement, MAC-based authentication provides a simple access control method.

A local database of allowed and denied MAC addresses is created. Whenever a VAP is configured with MAC

authentication, the access point uses this database to determine if a particular association request will be granted.

Two mutually exclusive lists are provided—allow lists and deny lists. If the allow list is configured, any station with a MAC address not on the list will be denied access. Similarly, if the deny list is configured, all stations will be allowed with the exception of the ones present on the list.

RADIUS-Based MAC Authentication

When the number of devices in the network is large, the MAC database becomes difficult to maintain. In these cases, a RADIUS server can be used to centralize the database. When using MAC-based RADIUS authentication, association requests trigger a RADIUS authentication request to be sent from the access point to the RADIUS server (these requests can be forwarded by the SRX Series, but they will neither be generated nor proxied by it).

set wlan access-point AP-1 radio 2 virtual-access-point 0 security mac-

set wlan access-point AP-1 radio 2 virtual-access-point 0 security none 

The access request message contains the following attributes, which can be used by the RADIUS server to grant or deny access to clients (in particular, note the access point MAC, IP address, and SSID info).

User-Name = "00-12-00-00-00-00"
User-Password = "NOPASSWORD"
NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.2.3
Called-Station-Id = "00-DE-AD-10-75-00:WifiNet"
Calling-Station-Id = "00-12-00-00-00-00"
NAS-Port-Type = Wireless-802.11
Connect-Info = "CONNECT 11Mbps 802.11b" 

When using RADIUS authentication, it is important to remember that the RADIUS requests, originated from the management address of each access point, must be permitted by the firewall policies.

Creating Multiple Wireless Networks Using VAPs

A requirement for many organizations is to segment their networks so a more granular access control can be enforced. In this example, we will separate the network into two different zones. The Corporate zone, with a WifiNet SSID, will enforce encryption using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and RADIUS authentication. The Guest zone, with a Guest SSID, will be open but will only allow HTTP and Domain Name System (DNS) traffic to the Internet.

Two VAPs will be used, each with a single SSID and each associated to a VLAN. Traffic from clients associated to the WifiNet SSID will be tagged using VLAN tag 2, while traffic for the Guest network will be tagged with VLAN tag 3.

In order to provide a better channel management, each radio will be transmitting a single SSID. Radio 1 will be transmitting in the 2.4 Ghz band advertising the GuestNet SSID, while radio 2 will be transmitting in the 5 Ghz band advertising the WifiNet SSID.

Please note that it is also possible to configure both radios to advertise both SSIDs simultaneously, if needed (as previously noted, each radio can advertise up to 16 SSIDs simultaneously).

Creating a Guest Network Using Firewall Authentication

In our final example, we will use firewall authentication to authenticate users trying to access a guest network. New users will be redirected to a local portal running in the SRX Series where they will be authenticated. The user database can be local or, as in the previous examples, RADIUS authentication can be used. Firewall authentication will only be used in the GuestNet; WifiNet will do RADIUS-based MAC authentication instead.

RADluS-based VLAN Assignment

When using RADIUS authentication, it is possible to send a RADIUS attribute to instruct each access point to tag the traffic from the client with a VLAN tag. This allows segmentation of the network into multiple domains, while still broadcasting a single SSID. Network administrators can give users access to each domain, while users do not have to choose a particular SSID.

In this example, we will use 802.1X authentication with RADIUS-based VLAN assignment. The RADIUS attributes used to signal which VLAN to use for a particular client are the following:

Tunnel-Type = 13 (VLAN Tunnels)
Tunnel-Medium-Type = 6 (802 medium)
Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = <vlan id>

By default, users will be placed in vlan 3 (GuestNet), unless the RADIUS server assigns the VLAN ID 2, in which case the user will access the WifiNet.

Administration and Monitoring

Monitoring

The branch SRX Series gateways also provide monitoring commands, allowing users to obtain real-time information of the status of access points and associated clients. When an access point monitoring command is invoked, the SRX Series connects to the appropriate access point and pulls the required status information. This section shows a summary of the monitoring commands and their output.

The "show wlan access-points" command shows a summary of active access points connected to the SRX Series.

> show wlan access-points
