MAC
Authentication
If you enable MAC authentication, wireless clients must be authenticated by the AP in order
to connect to the network. You must configure the MAC addresses of the clients to accept or
deny (based on the default action you set in the AP profile) in one of the following databases:
• Local
• RADIUS
RADIUS IP Address
If you use a RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients, you can use the same RADIUS
server that you configure on the
AAA/RADIUS
tab for the profile, or you can specify a different
RADIUS server.
To specify a RADIUS server for this VAP, clear the
Use Profile
check box and enter the IP
address of the RADIUS server in the field.
RADIUS Secret
To enter a RADIUS secret, select the Edit check box and type the secret in the field.
Backup RADIUS Server
IP Address
The IP address of the backup radius server.
Backup RADIUS Server
Secret
The RADIUS secret of the backup radius server.
RADIUS
Accounting
Select the
RADIUS Accounting
check box to enable accounting for wireless clients on the
specified RADIUS server.
RADIUS Failthrough
Mode
Select the
RADIUS Failthrough Mode
option to enable the radius fail-through feature. Clear
the option to disable the feature.
Security
The default AP profile does not use any security mechanism by default. In order to protect
your network, we strongly recommend that you select a security mechanism so that
unauthorized wireless clients cannot gain access to your network.
The following WLAN network security options are available:
• None
• WEP
• WPA/WPA2
If you select WEP or WPA/WPA2 as your security mechanism, a dialogue box asks if you want
to change network security. After you click
OK
, additional fields appear, and any network
settings that you modified are applied to the switch.
“Configuring AP Security” on page 97
describes the security mechanisms and the additional
fields you can configure if you select WEP or WPA/WPA2.
