5.10.1 ZyAIR G-3000 RADIUS Setup Example
The following example describes how to configure your AP’s RADIUS server settings for use with Vantage
RADIUS.
To set up your ZyAIR’s RADIUS server settings, click the WIRELESS link under ADVANCED and then
the RADIUS tab. The screen appears as shown.
1. Make sure your RADIUS servers are activated.
2. Type the IP address of your Vantage RADIUS in the Server IP Address field.
3. Type the port numbers of the external authentication and accounting servers. The default port
numbers are
1812 and 1813 respectively. Make sure ZyAIR and Vantage RADIUS use the same
port numbers.
4. Type a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared between the external
authentication server and the wireless AP. The key must be the same on the external authentication
server and your wireless AP. The key is not sent over the network.
