Configuring External Radius Server Support
If either the EAP 802.1x, Hotspot, or Dynamic MAC ACL options have been selected as an
authentication scheme for a WLAN, the Radius Config... button at the bottom of the Network >
Wireless LANs > Edit becomes enabled. The Radius Configuration screen provides users the option
of defining an external primary and secondary Radius Server as well as a NAC Server if you do not
use the switch's resident Radius Server.
NOTE
If using the switch's local Radius Server for user authentication instead of an external primary or
secondary Radius Server, see
Radius Server provides an easy setup option and offers a high degree of security and accountability.
The switch ships with a default configuration defining the local Radius Server as the primary
authentication source (default users are admin with superuser privileges and operator with monitor
privileges). No secondary authentication source is specified. However, Brocade recommends using
an external Radius Server as the primary user authentication source and the local switch Radius
Server as the secondary user authentication source. To use an external Radius Server as either a
primary or secondary authentication source, it must be specified appropriately.
