RADIUS

An Access Point communicates with a network's RADIUS server to provide the following
features:
• MAC access control via the RADIUS authentication
• RADIUS authentication with 802.1x
The network administrator can configure multiple RADIUS Authentication Servers for
different Authentication types. The current available authentication types are
• EAP/802.1x authentication and
• MAC-based authentication.
You can configure two separate sets of Primary and Secondary RADIUS Servers for each of
the two supported Authentication types above.
You can configure the AP to communicate with up to six different RADIUS servers:
• 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)
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. Once the primary
RADIUS server is again online, the AP automatically reverts from the backup RADIUS
server back to the primary RADIUS server. All subsequent requests are then sent to the
primary RADIUS server.
The topics covered in this section include:
• RADIUS
• MAC Access Control Via RADIUS Authentication
• RADIUS Authentication with 802.1x
• RADIUS Authentication CLI Commands
• RADIUS Authentication Configuration Using the W310 Manager
