Creating a RADIUS
Server
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client-server
security protocol that provides authentication, authorization, and
accounting for network users and devices. A RADIUS server stores user
profiles, which include usernames, passwords, and other user attributes.
After defining RADIUS servers, define RADIUS server groups (named sets
of RADIUS servers). You must create at least one server group.
RADIUS server groups can authenticate administrators and network
users. You can specify up to four RADIUS server groups for AAA services
in a 3Com Mobility System.
Although you can use the local database on the WX switch to
authenticate users, 3Com recommends using RADIUS to accommodate
the large number of users in an enterprise network.
For information about the RADIUS attributes supported by MSS, see the
Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide.
