NOTE: For the Timeout and Retransmit attempts fields, accept the default values
unless you experience problems connecting to the RADIUS server over the
network.
Secondary Radius Server Setup – Configure a secondary RADIUS server to provide
a backup in case the primary server fails. The access point uses the secondary
server if the primary server fails or becomes inaccessible. Once the access point
switches over to the secondary server, it periodically attempts to establish
communication again with primary server. If communication with the primary
server is re-established, the secondary server reverts to a backup role.
VLAN ID Format – A VLAN ID (a number between 1 and 4094) can be assigned to
each client after successful authentication using IEEE 802.1X and a central
RADIUS server. The user VLAN IDs must be configured on the RADIUS server for
each user authorized to access the network. VLAN IDs can be entered as
hexadecimal numbers or as ASCII strings.
MAC Address Format – MAC addresses may take several different formats. Select
the option that best suits your needs.
No-Delimiter: Specifies a sequential non-delimiter address, in the format
aabbccddeeff. (Default)
Single Dash: Specifies a sequential address that is broken after the sixth digit
by a dash, in the format aabbcc-ddeeff.
Multi-Dash: Specifies an address that is separated into numeral pairs by
dashes, in the format aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff.
Multi-Colon: Specifes an address that is separated into numeral pairs by
colons, in the format aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff.
