In a digital office environment, network admission control is a key component of enterprise network security, as enterprises increasingly demand both security and convenience. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) integrates a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) component to support the 802.1X protocol and the portal access method. This delivers secure, flexible, and efficient network admission control, ensuring compliant device and user access while improving management efficiency and the user experience.

Use case 1: Configure wireless network access

SASE ensures secure network access through an 802.1X authentication solution and improves employee efficiency with a one-click network access process. Employees can use the SASE client to quickly and securely access the corporate network from any location covered by the office network. You must complete the required configurations in the SASE management console and on the local wireless controller.

Note

This article uses H3C devices as an example for wireless controller and switch configurations.

Step 1: Configure the authentication server (RADIUS)

RADIUS is a network protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) services. SASE provides a Cloud Authentication Server and also allows you to flexibly configure your own authentication server.

  1. Log on to the Secure Access Service Edge console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Network Access Control > Basic Configurations.
