Create the Meru controller as a RADIUS client on your RADIUS server. Open your browser and connect to your Meru controller (in this example, an MC1500 is used).

Step 1: Create the RADIUS profile

Under the Configuration tab, click on Radius under the Security heading.

Click on the Add button to add a new RADIUS profile, and enter the required information:

Click the OK button to complete this part of the setup.

Step 2: Create the Security Profile

Next, click on the Profile option under the Security heading. Click the Add button to add a new profile.

Profile name: eduroam (or anything you like)

L2 modes allowed: WPA2

Data Encrypt: CCMP-AES

Primary RADIUS profile: eduroam (or as created in Step 1 above)

Secondary RADIUS profile: optional

Click the OK button to complete this part of the setup.

Step 3: Creating the ESS Profile

Under the Configuration tab, click on the ESS option under Wireless.

Click on the Add button.

Complete the information as required:

ESS Profile Name: eduroam (or any other meaningful name)

Enable/Disable: enable (enable/disable this profile)

SSID: eduroam (this must be set to "eduroam", all in lower case)

Security Profile Name: eduroam (or whatever you called in in Step 2 above)

Click the OK button to complete the setup.

This is a basic guide to get eduroam going. Additional steps can be taken to bind VLANs to the SSIDs based on the SSID itself, or as specified on the RADIUS server.
