9.3 Setting the Authentication Configuration
As part of the access point's Management Policy, define how client authentication requests are validated using either an
external or internal authentication resource:
To configure an authentication resource:
1. Select
Configuration
2. Select
Authentication
3. Set the following to authenticate access requests to the access point managed network:
Local
RADIUS
> Management.
from the list of Management Policy options in the upper, left-hand, side of the UI.
Figure 9-4 Management Policy Authentication screen
Define whether the access point's internal RADIUS resource (if supported)
is used to validate authentication requests. The default setting is Enabled.
When enabled, network address information is not required for an external
RADIUS resource. AP-6511 and AP-6521 models have no local resource
however and must use an external RAIDUS server.
If local is disabled, an external RADIUS resource is used as the
authentication service. External and fallback are not available if the access
point's local RADIUS resource is enabled.
