IV-3-4. RADIUS
The RADIUS sub menu allows you to configure the
access point’s RADIUS server settings, categorized
into three submenus: RADIUS settings, Internal Server and RADIUS accounts.
A RADIUS server provides user-based authentication to improve security and
offer wireless client control – users can be authenticated before gaining
access to a network.
The access point can utilize both a primary and secondary (backup) RADIUS
server for each of its wireless frequencies (2.4GHz & 5GHz). External RADIUS
servers can be used or the access point’s internal RADIUS server can be used.
To use RADIUS servers, go to “Wireless Settings”
à
“Security” and
select the desired Authentication Method à “Additional
Authentication” and select “MAC RADIUS Authentication” (see
IV-3-1-3. & IV-3-2-3 ).
The “ MAC RADIUS Authentication ” feature works with an external
RADIUS Server Only.
