Scenario 2a: Hotspot with RADIUS authentication
This installation shows you how to create a public access network using an AAA (authentication,
administration, accounting) RADIUS server to handle user authentication.
How it works
In this scenario a single service controller is installed to provide a wireless network and access to
the Internet.
A local area network is connected to the service controller's LAN port to support wired users. The
service controller acts as the DHCP server on both the wireless and wired networks which are
bridged together on subnet 192.168.1.0.
A RADIUS server provides services for user authentication and accounting. The RADIUS server is
located on local LAN B along with a router/firewall which handles the connection to the Internet and
acts as a DHCP server on LAN B.
