5.3.10 RADIUS Settings
The RADIUS sub menu allows you to configure the access point’s RADIUS server settings, categorized into
three submenus:
RADIUS settings
,
Internal Server
and
RADIUS accounts
.
A RADIUS server provides user-based authentication to improve security and offer wireless client control –
users can be authenticated before gaining access to a network.
The access point can utilize both a primary and secondary (backup) RADIUS server for each of its wireless
frequencies (2.4GHz & 5GHz). External RADIUS servers can be used or the access point’s internal RADIUS
server can be used.
