STEP 1
Select System Security > RADIUS Server in the navigation pane.
STEP 2
Enter the parameters:
•
Server IP Address Type—The IP version that the RADIUS server uses.
You can toggle between the address types to configure IPv4 and IPv6 global RADIUS
address settings, but the WAP device contacts only the RADIUS server or servers of the
address type you select in this field.
•
Server IP Address 1 or Server IPv6 Address 1—The addresses for the primary global
RADIUS server.
When the first wireless client tries to authenticate with the WAP device, the device
sends an authentication request to the primary server. If the primary server responds to
the authentication request, the WAP device continues to use this RADIUS server as the
primary server, and authentication requests are sent to the address specified.
•
Server IP Address (2 through 4) or Server IPv6 Address (2 through 4)—Up to three
backup IPv4 or IPv6 RADIUS server addresses.
If authentication fails with the primary server, each configured backup server is tried in
sequence.
•
Key 1—The shared secret key that the WAP device uses to authenticate to the primary
RADIUS server.
You can use from 1 to 64 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case
sensitive and must match the key configured on the RADIUS server. The text you enter
appears as asterisks.
•
Key (2 through 4)—The RADIUS key associated with the configured backup RADIUS
servers. The server at Server IP (IPv6) Address 2 uses Key 2, the server at Server IP
(IPv6) Address-3 uses Key 3, and so on.
•
Enable RADIUS Accounting—Enables tracking and measuring of the resources a
particular user has consumed, such as system time, amount of data transmitted and
received, and so on.
If you enable RADIUS accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and all
backup servers.
