Configuration for Xirrus (Lite) Gateway Equipment

You can confirm your environment under Operator Customizations.

Before configuring your device, please be sure that you have added the Gateway to the Smart WiFi Platform and associated it with a Hotspot.
ADD GATEWAY
ADD HOSPOT

The following instructions outline how to setup a Xirrus Lite network for the Marketing4WiFi Platform.  This guide covers details such as configuring RADIUS, walled garden entries, and captive portals.  This guide assumes that your Xirrus Lite access points are already operational on a live network. Please make sure any firewall rules, web content filters, and other security measures have been configured to interface with the platform per the hardware manufacturers specifications.

NOTE: These instructions are strictly for Xirrus Lite equipment and NOT the enterprise equipment.

Screenshots of Xirrus Dashboard configuration:

Settings:
External Login Page URL: Select one


Redirect Secret: hotspot
Authentication Type: CHAP
Primary Host/IP: Select one

Port: 1812
Shared Secret: Available in the Edit Hotspot page in the Marketing4WiFi dashboard, called RADIUS Secret in the dashboard.
Add a secondary Radius Server
Secondary Host/IP: Select one

Port: 1812
Shared Secret: Available in the Edit Hotspot page in the Marketing4WiFi dashboard, called RADIUS Secret in the dashboard.
Landing Page: Select one

White List: Please add all the Default walled garden entries.

If you’re a white label client and you have your own splash domain, be sure to include it in the walled garden.

You will also need to configure RADIUS ACCOUNTING on the Xirrus device directly:

While in the Profile click on the “Show Advanced”

After you hit “Show Advanced” you should see a couple extra buttons:

Select “Optimization” and then click “Snippets” and agree to the following notices:

Inside the text box for AOS Lite enter the following code to enable RADIUS Accounting:

ssid
edit <enter your SSID here>
web-page auth-timeout 120
radius-server external accounting on
exit
exit
radius
external nas-identifier <enter your NAS-ID here from the Dashboard>

***Note that by default Xirrus uses port 1813 when accounting is enabled so there is no need to enter it with the first code Snippet***
