Radius Server Settings

If you are using a Radius server in your network for authentication, you must configure Radius settings. You can configure four types of servers:

Primary Authentication Server: The main Radius server used for authentication.

Secondary Authentication Server: A Secondary Authentication Server can be configured for use if the Primary Authentication Server fails or is unreachable.

Primary Accounting Server: This server is used for accounting on the network.

Secondary Accounting Server: A Secondary Accounting Server can be configured to use if the Primary Authentication Server fails or is unreachable.

To configure Radius Server Settings:

1.Click the Configuration tab and select Security > Basic > Radius Server Settings:

The primary server is used by default. If it fails, the secondary server is used, if configured.

2.Fill in the IP Address, Port, and Shared Secret fields for each Radius server.

The IP Address, Port, and Shared Secret information is required to communicate with the Radius server.

The Shared Secret is shared between the wireless access point and the Radius server while authenticating the wireless client.

3.Enter the Authentication Settings.

Re-authentication Time (Seconds): This is the time interval in seconds after which the supplicant will be authenticated again with the RADIUS server. The default interval is 3600 seconds.

Update Global Key Every (Seconds): Enable this option to have the Global Key changed according to the time interval specified. If enabled, enter the desired time interval. The default is enable, and the default interval is 1800 Seconds.

4.Click Apply so that your changes take effect.
