Table 4 Wireless 802.1x Authentication
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Idle Timeout
The ZyAIR automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network after
a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username and
password again before access to the wired network is allowed.
This field is activated only when you select
Authentication Required
in the
Wireless Port Control
field. The default time interval is
3600
seconds (or 1 hour).
Authentication
Databases
This field is activated only when you select
Authentication Required
in the
Wireless Port Control
field.
The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local
user database is the built-in database on the ZyAIR. The RADIUS is an external
server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the ZyAIR should use
(first) to authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
Select
Local User Database Only
to have the ZyAIR just check the built-in user
database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password.
Select
RADIUS Only
to have the ZyAIR just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select
Local first, then RADIUS
to have the ZyAIR first check the user database
on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is
not found, the ZyAIR then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS
server.
Select
RADIUS first, then Local
to have the ZyAIR first check the user database
on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If
the ZyAIR cannot reach RADIUS, the ZyAIR then checks the local user database
on the ZyAIR. When the user name is not found or password does not match in the
RADIUS server, the ZyAIR will not check the local user database and the
authentication fails.
