5.5.2 RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication,
Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for nodes to connect and use a network service.
The AP device supports the following authentication and accounting mechanisms:
•
MAC Access Control Via RADIUS Authentication: Allows only the MAC addresses that are registered on the
RADIUS server to access the wireless network.
•
802.1x Authentication using RADIUS: Refer
•
RADIUS Accounting: By using an external RADIUS server, the AP device can track and record the length of the client
sessions by sending the RADIUS accounting messages per RFC2866. When a wireless client is successfully
authenticated, RADIUS accounting is initiated by sending an "Accounting Start" request to the RADIUS server. When
the wireless client session ends, an "Accounting Stop" request is sent to the RADIUS server.
: For the AP device to support the above authentication and accounting mechanisms, ensure to configure the RADIUS
server. For more details on configuring a RADIUS server, please refer to 'AP11n - Reference Guide'.
