System Configuration
•
Key: A shared text string used to encrypt messages between
the access point and the RADIUS server. Be sure that the
same text string is specified on the RADIUS server. Do not
use blank spaces in the string. (Maximum length: 255
characters)
•
Timeout: Number of seconds the access point waits for a reply
from the RADIUS server before resending a request.
(Range: 1-60 seconds; Default: 5)
•
Retransmit attempts: The number of times the access point
tries to resend a request to the RADIUS server before
authentication fails. (Range: 1-30; Default: 3)
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.
CLI Commands for RADIUS – From the global configuration
mode, use the radius-server address command to specify the
address of the primary or secondary RADIUS servers. (The
following example configures the settings for the primary RADIUS
server.) Configure the other parameters for the RADIUS server.
Then use the show show radius command from the Exec mode
