users.
All MAC address-authenticated users or last-resort users must share the
same authorization password on the RADIUS server.

To modify a RADIUS server:
1 In the content panel, select the RADIUS server you want to modify and
click Properties.
2 In the IP Address box, type the IP address for the RADIUS server, in dotted
decimal notation.
3 In the Key box, type the password (also known as a shared secret key)
used to authenticate to the RADIUS server (1 to 32 characters long, with
no spaces or tabs).
You must provide the same password that is defined on the RADIUS
server.
4 In the Timeout box, specify how long (1 to 65,535 seconds) the WX
switch must wait for a RADIUS server to respond before retransmitting.
The default is 5 seconds.
5 In the Authentication Port box, specify the UDP destination port to which
the WX switch listens for authentication and authorization. The default
port is 1812.
6 In the Accounting Port box, specify the UDP destination port to which the
WX switch listens for accounting. The default port is 1813.
7 In the Retry Count box, specify how many retransmissions (1 to 100) are
sent for a RADIUS request. The default is 2.
8 In the Dead Time box, specify how long (0 to 1440 minutes) the WX
switch waits before attempting to reach an unresponsive RADIUS server.
The default is 0 minutes.
9 In the Authorization Password box, type the password used for outbound
authentication and authorization to a RADIUS server (1 to 32
alphanumeric characters, with no spaces or tabs).
Providing an authorization password is required only for users whose
devices are authenticated by their MAC addresses or for non-802.1X
users of third-party APs. Neither of these user types has a regular
username or password. The default authorization password is 3Com.
