IP Address—The address of the server.

Port—The network (UDP) port of the server used for messages. The port defaults to 1812 (1813 for RADIUS Accounting) and must match the port configured on the RADIUS server.

Key—The encryption key is a shared ASCII string that is used to authenticate logon access for the client. The maximum length is 255 characters. Do not use blank spaces in the string. The key must be configured the same on both the access point and the RADIUS server. The Authentication and Accounting RADIUS servers can have different secret keys.

Timeout—The number of seconds the access point waits for a reply from the RADIUS server before it resends the request.

Retransmit attempts—The number of times the access point will try to authenticate logon access.

Update Interval— (RADIUS Accounting Only) This is the interval in seconds between accounting updates sent to the RADIUS accounting server.

Accounting Log Options— (RADIUS Accounting Only) This option controls which clients will generate accounting logs. If set to RADIUS Authenticated Clients Only, only those clients which successfully complete 802.1x Authentication will generate accounting logs. The default is for all authenticated clients to generate accounting logs.

AUTHENTICATION

The Authentication page allows you to configure the type of upper-layer authentication the access point uses for wireless clients. This authentication setup is applicable for both radio interfaces. Access is checked against the MAC Address authentication database stored on the access point.

NOTE: This level of authentication occurs BEFORE any 802.1x authentication configured on the Security page. When using Local and RADIUS MAC Authentication, clients attempting to authenticate to the access point MUST pass these settings before any subsequent 802.1x authentication is attempted and verified. If no MAC address filtering is desired, leave this set to the default setting of Disable.
