RadSec is used to secure/encrypt the authentication session between Instant APs (IAP), Switches and ClearPass. The main use case is when you have your authentication sever AKA ClearPass installed in AWS or Azure and you need to use Internet as a medium to transport the RADIUS authentication.

This is a 3x parts technote we’ll cover configuring and testing of Radsec between Aruba Central managed IAPs, CX switches and ClearPass. We’ll go further and explore its profiling implications as well.

In this first part we’ll cover RadSec configuration for IAPs and ClearPass.
