Test CoA Disconnect

Description

In this scenario, three parties are actively involved: an authenticator (DUT0), a supplicant (DUT1), and an authentication server (DUT2). Once the authentication is successfully performed, DUT2 sends a CoA/Disconnect message to terminate the active session.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.168.64/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator aaa authentication list1
set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator coa client 10.215.168.1
set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator coa encrypted-secret U2FsdGVkX19pe1lSNj+Wwm8oiK9Z/95a0qMuJ977ScE=
set interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator reauth-period 0
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 192.168.100.1/24
set system aaa group radius radgroup1 server serv1
set system aaa list list1 method 1 group radius radgroup1
set system aaa server radius serv1 address 10.215.168.1
set system aaa server radius serv1 encrypted-key U2FsdGVkX1+eJg5/1WMfkOPvIEGsL5dmlxSdTlRyMCPtRZwudc10Rin9fe+Rjty8DqNOhP1zmBfabNzL5Pwmvw==

Step 2: Ping IP address 10.215.168.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.215.168.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 10.215.168.1 (10.215.168.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

Step 7: Ping IP address 192.168.100.1 from DUT1:

admin@DUT1$ ping 192.168.100.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 192.168.100.1 (192.168.100.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Step 4: Run command interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant show status at DUT1 and check if output contains the following tokens:

Authorized
Show output
---------------------------------------------------
        Field                      Value
---------------------------------------------------
EAP State                                   SUCCESS
EAP TLS Cipher          ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384

Supplicant Port Status                   Authorized
WPA State                                 COMPLETED

Step 5: Run command interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x supplicant show stats at DUT1 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Port Status\s+Authorized

Start Frames (Tx)             1

Step 6: Run command interfaces ethernet eth1 802.1x authenticator show stats at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Step 7: Ping IP address 192.168.100.1 from DUT1:

admin@DUT1$ ping 192.168.100.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 192.168.100.1 (192.168.100.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Note

Send a CoA/Disconnect request from the RADIUS server On Linux, the FreeRADIUS package includes the utility radtest that can be used to send these messages:

Warning

Since CoA/Disconnect was unsuccessful, DUT1 is still able to reach DUT0.

Step 8: Ping IP address 192.168.100.1 from DUT1:

admin@DUT1$ ping 192.168.100.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
