Configuring the RADIUS Server Settings

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is a protocol for managing

Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) of multiple users in a network. A RADIUS

server stores a database of user information, and can validate a user at the request of a gateway

device in the network when a user requests access to network resources. The wireless access point

can relay login information from wireless clients to an external RADIUS server for AAA services.

In an environment with many users, using a RADIUS server allows centralized control for

individual users, providing better network security than using a single preshared key for all users.

The RADIUS Server Settings fields are described in Table 4-3.

To configure the RADIUS Server Settings:

1. Select Security under the main Configuration tab, then select Advanced from the side menu.

The Radius Server Settings screen displays, as in Figure 4-10.

2. Enter the following RADIUS Server settings:
