MAC Access Control by Means of RADIUS Authentication
If you want to control wireless access to the network and if your network includes a RADIUS
Server, you can store the list of MAC addresses on the RADIUS server rather than configure
each AP individually. You can define a RADIUS Profile that specifies the IP Address of the
server that contains a central list of MAC Address values identifying the authorized stations that
may access the wireless network. You must specify information for at least the primary RADIUS
server. The back-up RADIUS server is optional.
Note:
Each VLAN can be configured to use a separate RADIUS server (and backup
Note:
server) for MAC authentication.
Note:
Contact your RADIUS server manufacturer if you have problems configuring the
Note:
server or have problems using RADIUS authentication.
802.1x Authentication using RADIUS
You must configure a primary EAP/802.1x Authentication server to use 802.1x security. A
back-up server is optional.
Note:
Each VLAN can be configured to use a separate RADIUS server (and backup
Note:
server) for 802.1x authentication. 802.1x authentication ("EAP authentication")
can be separately enabled for each VLAN.
Description
Enter the maximum number of times an authentication request may
be transmitted. The range is 0 to 4, the default is 3.
Select Enable from the drop-down box to enable the RADIUS
Server Profile.
