You can use any of a variety of authentication methods that the IEEE 802.1X mode supports,
including certificates, Kerberos, and public key authentication. You must configure the client
stations to use the same authentication method the WAP device uses.
These parameters configure Dynamic WEP:
•
Use Global RADIUS Server Settings—By default, each VAP uses the global RADIUS
settings that you define for the WAP device (see
RADIUS Server
). However, you can
configure each VAP to use a different set of RADIUS servers.
To use the global RADIUS server settings, ensure that the check box is selected.
To use a separate RADIUS server for the VAP, uncheck the check box and enter the
RADIUS server IP address and key in these fields:
•
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 for
the address type you select in this field.
•
Server IP Address 1 or Server IPv6 Address 1—The address for the primary RADIUS
server for this VAP.
When the first wireless client tries to authenticate with the WAP device, the WAP
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 you
specify.
The IPv4 address should be in a form similar to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (192.0.2.10). The
IPv6 address should be in a form similar to
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx (2001:DB8::CAD5:7D91).
•
Server IP Address 2 to 4 or Server IPv6 Address 2 to 4—Up to three IPv4 or IPv6
backup RADIUS server addresses.
If authentication fails with the primary server, each configured backup server is tried in
sequence.
•
Key—The shared secret key that the WAP device uses to authenticate to the primary
RADIUS server.
You can use up to 63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case
sensitive and must match the key configured on the RADIUS server. The text you enter
is shown as asterisks.
