6.5 802.1x Overview
The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication of wireless stations
and encryption key management. Authentication can be done using the local user database internal to the
ZyAIR (authenticate up to 32 users) or an external RADIUS server for an unlimited number of users.
6.6 Introduction to Local User Database
By storing user profiles locally on the ZyAIR, your ZyAIR is able to authenticate wireless users without
interacting with a network RADIUS server. However, there is a limit on the number of users you may
authenticate in this way.
6.7 Introduction to RADIUS
RADIUS is based on a client-sever model that supports authentication and accounting, where access point is
the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following tasks among
others:
•
Authentication
Determines the identity of the users.
•
Accounting
Keeps track of the client’s network activity.
