RADIUS Configuration
RADIUS Profiles on the AP define a profile for RADIUS Servers used by the system or by a
VLAN. The network administrator can define RADIUS Servers per Authentication Mode and per
VLAN. For more information, see
Authentication Mode and per VLAN
The AP communicates with the RADIUS server defined in a profile to provide the following
features:
MAC Access Control By Means of RADIUS Authentication
•
802.1x Authentication using RADIUS
•
RADIUS Accounting
•
Also, RADIUS-Based Access allows centralized user management. For information on
RADIUS-based access, see
The network administrator can configure default RADIUS authentication servers to be used on a
system-wide basis, or in networks with VLANs enabled the administrator can also configure
separate authentication servers to be used for MAC authentication, EAP authentication, or
Accounting in each VLAN. You can configure the AP to communicate with up to six different
RADIUS servers per VLAN/SSID:
Primary Authentication Server (MAC-based authentication)
•
Back-up Authentication Server (MAC-based authentication)
•
Primary Authentication Server (EAP/802.1x authentication)
•
Back-up Authentication Server (EAP/802.1x authentication)
•
Primary Accounting Server
•
Back-up Accounting Server
•
The back-up servers are optional, but when configured, the AP will communicate with the
back-up server if the primary server is off-line. After the AP has switched to the backup server, it
will periodically check the status of the primary RADIUS server every five (5) minutes. Once the
primary RADIUS server is again online, the AP automatically reverts from the backup RADIUS
