Internal RADIUS Server

17.1 Overview

This chapter describes how the NWA can use its internal RADIUS server to
authenticate wireless clients.

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a protocol that enables
you to control access to a network by authenticating user credentials.

The following figure shows the NWA (

Z

) using its internal RADIUS server to control

access to a wired network. A wireless notebook (

A

) requests access by sending its

credentials. The NWA consults its internal RADIUS server’s list of user names and
passwords. If the credentials of the wireless notebook match an entry, the NWA
allows the client to access the network.

Figure 118

RADIUS Server

The NWA can also serve as a RADIUS server to authenticate other APs and their
wireless clients. For more background information on RADIUS, see
