A primary RADIUS server must be specified for the access point to
implement IEEE 802.1X network access control and Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) wireless security. A secondary RADIUS server may also be specified
as a backup should the primary server fail or become inaccessible.
In addition, the configured RADIUS server can also act as a RADIUS
Accounting server and receive user-session accounting information from
the access point. RADIUS Accounting can be used to provide valuable
information on user activity in the network.
This guide assumes that you have already configured RADIUS server(s) to
support the access point. Configuration of RADIUS server software is
beyond the scope of this guide, refer to the documentation provided with
the RADIUS server software.
