Configuring RADIUS Server Settings (if required)

You can setup or modify the RADIUS Server settings to compliment Network Authentication
security options. The RADIUS Server must be used with Legacy 802.1x, and can be used with
WPA and WPA2 Network Authentication. When using a RADIUS Server, the RADIUS Server
settings must be configured before completing the Network Authentication security profile (see
"Configuring WPA with RADIUS" on page
page 2-27, or "Configuring WPA and WPA2 with RADIUS" on page 2-29
implementing these security options).
To set up or modify the RADIUS Server Settings:
1. From your Web browser, log in to the WG302 using the default LAN address of
http://192.168.0.228, user name admin and password password, or use the LAN address and
password that you set up.
2. Under Security in the main menu, select RADIUS Server Settings. The radius Server Settings
screen will display.
3. Enter the RADIUS Server settings:
• Authentication/Access Control RADIUS Server Configuration. This configuration is
required for authentication using RADIUS. IP Address, Port No. and Shared Secret is
required for communication with RADIUS Server. A Secondary RADIUS Server can be
configured which is used if the Primary RADIUS Server fails.
– IP Address: The IP address of the RADIUS Server. The default is 0.0.0.0.
– Port Number: Port number of the RADIUS Server. The default is 1812.
– Shared Secret: This is shared between the Wireless Access Point and the RADIUS
Server while authenticating the supplicant.
• Reauthentication Time. The time interval in seconds after which the supplicant will be
authenticated again with the RADIUS Server. The default is 3600 seconds.
• Global-key Re-Key Time. Check on this option to enable Re-keying of Global Key. The
Global Key Re-Key can be done based on time interval in seconds or number of packets
exchanged using the global key. The default is 3600 seconds.
• Update if any station disassociates. Check on this option to refresh global key when any
stations disassociated with wireless Access Point.
• Accounting RADIUS Server Configuration. This configuration is required for
accounting using RADIUS Server. IP Address, Port No. and Shared Secret is required for
communication with RADIUS Server. A Secondary RADIUS Server can be configured
which is used on failure on Primary RADIUS Server.
