Accounting Deployment Considerations
Before defining a AAA configuration on a WLAN, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the configuration is
optimally effective:
• When using RADIUS authentication, it is recommended that the WAN port round trip delay not exceed 150 ms. Excessive
delay over a WAN can cause authentication and roaming issues. When excessive delays exist, a distributed RADIUS service
should be used.
• It is recommended that authorization policies be implemented when users need to be restricted to specific WLANs, or time
and date restrictions need to be applied.
• Authorization policies can also apply bandwidth restrictions and assign Firewall policies to users and devices.

6.2.4 Configuring WLAN Service Monitoring Settings

Wireless LANs
Service Monitoring is a mechanism for administrating external AAA server, captive portal server, access point adoption, and
DHCP server activity for WLANs. Service monitoring enables an administrator to better notify users of a service's availability
and make resource substitutions. Service monitoring can be enabled and applied to log activity as needed for specific WLANs.
External services can be rendered unavailable due to any of the following instances:
• When the RADIUS authentication server becomes unavailable. The RADIUS server could be local or external to the
controller, service platform or access point.
• When an externally hosted captive portal is unavailable (for any reason)
• If an access point's connected controller or service platform becomes unavailable.
• When a monitored DHCP server becomes unavailable.
