Miscellaneous

VLAN trunking

Like all ethernet devices, the Raspberry Pi can be on an untagged Access Port of a VLAN on a switch that supports 802.1q vlan configuration. However the Pi's ethernet adaptor also supports dot1q itself, so you can add the vlan package and configure your device on a trunk port with multiple VLANs tagged.

For a simple explanation of how to do this see https://www.sbprojects.net/projects/raspberrypi/vlan.php

Wifi Authentication with Radius

Requirement

WPA Enterprise configuration for Wifi Access Points (APs) to authenticate users

  • Otherwise look for dual Pi HA implementations with simple user admin interface
  • With possibility to federate additional sites over internet (via VPN or at least securely)
  • How about backing off to other Authentication providers for simplicity (a la OpenID?)

Radius implementations

Other Implementations

Authentication providers

But here’s the chicken and egg problem of 802.1x Auth using Internet Login: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-federated-login-api/JtEoXdsqfgU

And do Google really want to be an IdP? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9088864/google-apps-as-identity-provider (or is this only a SAML issue?)
