Configuring ACS Servers
This is an optional configuration. The AMP Setup > ACS page allows AWMS to poll one or more Cisco ACS
servers for wireless username information. When you specify an ACS server, AWMS gathers information about
your networks wireless users. Refer to the
“Configuring and RADIUS Authentication” on page 62
section if you want to use your ACS server to manage your AWMS users.
Perform these steps to configure ACS servers:
1. Navigate to the AMP Setup > ACS page. This page displays current ACS information, as illustrated in Figure
34 .
