5 In the server list, click the RADIUS server and then click Up or Down to arrange the order. The first
server in the list is the active one.
6 To test the Summit WM Controller's connection to all configured RADIUS servers, click Test. The
Test RADIUS servers page displays the message transaction with the RADIUS server, which allows
you to visually verify the state of the server connection and user authentication.
The RADIUS test is a test of connectivity to the RADIUS server, not of full RADIUS functionality.
AAA WM-ADs use EAP over RADIUS for authentication. The Summit WM Controller's EAP
RADIUS connectivity test initiates an Access-Request, to which the RADIUS server will respond
with a challenge. If the challenge is received then the test is deemed to have succeeded. If the
challenge is not received then the test is deemed to have failed. In either case, the test ends at this
point; for AAA WM-ADs, there is no need for a client password below.

Configuring Captive Portal for internal or external authentication
There are three Captive Portal options:
No Captive Portal Support
Internal Captive Portal - Define the parameters of the internal Captive Portal page displayed by the
Summit WM Controller, and the authentication request from the Summit WM Controller to the
RADIUS server.
External Captive Portal - Define the parameters of the external Captive Portal page displayed by an
external server. The authentication can be carried out by an external authentication server or by the
Summit WM Controller request to a RADIUS server.
