RADIUS Authentication with 802.1x
You must configure a primary EAP/802.1x Authentication server to use
802.1x security. A back-up server is optional.

Problems with RADIUS Server configuration or RADIUS
Authentication should be referred to the RADIUS Server developer.
Follow these steps to enable a RADIUS Authentication server for 802.1x
security:
1. Click the RADIUS tab.
2. Click the EAP/802.1x sub-tab.
3. Place a check mark in the box labeled Enable Primary
EAP/802.1x Authentication Server.
4. If you want to configure a back-up RADIUS server, place a check
mark in the box labeled Enable Back-up EAP/802.1x
Authentication Server.
5. Select a Server Addressing Format type (IP Address or Name).
— If you want to identify RADIUS servers by name, you must
configure the AP as a DNS Client. See DNS Client for details.
6. Enter the server’s IP address or name in the field provided.
7. Enter the port number which the AP and the server will use to
communicate. By default, RADIUS servers communicate on port
