Once you enable user authentication, you need to specify an external RADIUS server or create local user
accounts on the ZyAIR for authentication.
6-12
Table 6-3 802.1x Authentication
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
Port Control field.
The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local
user database is the built-in database on the ZyAIR. The RADIUS is an external
server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the ZyAIR should use
(first) to authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
Select Local User Database Only to have the ZyAIR just check the built-in user
database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password.
Select RADIUS Only to have the ZyAIR just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on
the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is not
found, the ZyAIR then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on
the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If the
ZyAIR cannot reach the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR then checks the local user
database on the ZyAIR. When the user name is not found or password does not
match in the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR will not check the local user database and
the authentication fails.
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
Port Control field. Also set the Authentication Databases field to RADIUS Only.
Local user database may not be used.
Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points

Up to 32 stations can access the ZyAIR when you configure dynamic WEP key
exchange.
