VLAN ID Format: Sets the format for specifying VLAN IDs on the
■
RADIUS server.
• Ascii - Enter VLAN IDs as an ASCII string.
• Hex - Enter VLAN IDs as a hexadecimal number.
Primary Radius Server Setup: Configure the following settings to use
■
RADIUS authentication on the access point.
• IP Address: Specifies the IP address or host name of the RADIUS
server.
• Port: The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number used by the
RADIUS server for authentication messages. (Range: 1024-65535;
Default: 1812)
• Secret Key: A shared text string used to encrypt messages between
the access point and the RADIUS server. Be sure that the same text
string is specified on the RADIUS server. Do not use blank spaces in
the string. (Maximum length: 20 characters)
• Timeout: Number of seconds the access point waits for a reply from
the RADIUS server before resending a request. The default is 5
seconds. (Range: 1-60 seconds)
• Retransmit Attempts: The number of times the access point tries
to resend a request to the RADIUS server before authentication fails.
(Range: 1 - 30)
■ Secondary Radius Server Setup: Configure a secondary RADIUS
server to provide a backup in case the primary server fails. The access
point uses the secondary server if the primary server fails or becomes
inaccessible. Once the access point switches over to the secondary server,
it periodically attempts to establish communication again with primary
server. If communication with the primary server is re-established, the
secondary server reverts to a backup role.
