Cisco Small Business WAP371 Wireless Access Point Administration Guide
If authentication fails with the primary server, each configured backup server is tried in
sequence.
• Key 1—The shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. You can use up to 63
standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must
configure the same key on the WAP device and on your RADIUS server. The text you
enter is shown as asterisks to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type.
• Key 2 to Key 4—The RADIUS key associated with the configured backup RADIUS
servers. The server at Server IP (IPv6) Address 2 uses Key 2, the server at Server IP
(IPv6) Address 3 uses Key 3, and so on.
• Enable RADIUS Accounting—Tracks and measures the resources a particular user has
consumed such as system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on.
If you enable RADIUS accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and
all backup servers.
• Active Server—Enables the administrative selection of the active RADIUS server,
rather than having the WAP device attempt to contact each configured server in
sequence and choose the first server that is up.
Broadcast Key Refresh Rate—The interval at which the broadcast (group) key is
refreshed for clients associated with this VAP.
The default is 300 seconds. The valid range is from 0 to 86400 seconds. A value of 0
indicates that the broadcast key is not refreshed.
• Session Key Refresh Rate—The interval at which the WAP device refreshes session
(unicast) keys for each client associated with the VAP.
The valid range is from 0 to 86400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the session key
is not refreshed.
The Radio and VAP Scheduler allows you to configure a rule with a specific time interval for
VAPs or radios to be operational, which automates the enabling or disabling of the VAPs and
radio.
One way you can use this feature is to schedule the radio to operate only during the office
working hours in order to achieve security and reduce power consumption. You can also use
the Scheduler to allow access to VAPs for wireless clients only during specific times of day.
