Activate VLAN tagging for the WLAN Controller. This is done in the phys-
ical parameters of the profile by entering a value greater than '0' (Man-
agement VLAN ID) for the management VLAN ID.
For authentication via 802.1x, go to the encryption settings for the pro-
file's logical WLAN network and choose a setting that triggers an authen-
tication request by IEEE 802.1x (e.g. '802.11i (WPA)-802.1x').
To check the MAC addresses, activate the MAC check for the profile's log-
ical WLAN network.
For the management of WLAN modules with a WLAN Controller, a
RADIUS server is required to operate authentication via 802.1x and
MAC-address checks. The WLAN Controller automatically defines
itself as the RADIUS server in the Access Points that it is managing—
all RADIUS requests sent to the Access Point are then directly for-
warded to the WLAN Controller, which can either process the requests
itself or forward them to an external RADIUS server. Alternatively the
access points can communicate with the RADIUS server directly if the
information about the RADIUS server is configured accordingly
('RADIUS server'
To forward RADIUS requests to another RADIUS server, use LANconfig to
enter its address into the list of forwarding servers in the configuration
