Configuring the Access Point for Local Authentication and
Authorization
You can configure AAA to operate without a server by configuring the wireless device to implement
AAA in local mode. The wireless device then handles authentication and authorization. No accounting
is available in this configuration.
Note
You can configure the wireless device as a local authenticator for 802.1x-enabled client devices to
provide a backup for your main server or to provide authentication service on a network without a
RADIUS server. See
Using the Access Point as a Local Authenticator
at Cisco.com for detailed
instructions on configuring the wireless device as a local authenticator:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/wireless/software/guide/SecurityLocalAuthent.html.
To configure the wireless device for local AAA, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode.
