5.1 WS5000 as a RADIUS Client

The format of the Calling Station and the Called Station ID are changed, to confirm to the RFC-3580 (IEEE

802.1x RADIUS Usage Guidelines), as follows:

• The 6 byte MAC address now separated by an (-) hyphen when compared to the earlier separator used

(:) colon. An example for Calling Station ID would be – 00-10-A4-23-19-CO.

• The Called Station ID now has the SSID name suffixed to it using a colon (:). For example, the Called

Station ID for the MAC address of 00-10-A4-23-19-CO with an SSID of API would now be "00-10-A4-

23-19-CO:API".

The WS5000 Series Switch provides an integrated Radius server as well as the ability to work with external

Radius and LDAP servers to provide user database information and user authentication.

The Radius Server screen allows the admin to set up data sources, as well as specify authentication

information for the built-in Radius server.

To configure the Radius server, select System Settings -> Radius -> Configuration.
