Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a security authentication
client/server protocol that supports authentication, authorization and accounting, which is
widely used by Internet service providers. It is the most common method of authenticating and
authorizing dial-up and tunneled network users.
The built-in RADIUS client feature enables the router to assist a wireless station and the
RADIUS server in performing mutual authentication. It enables centralized remote access
authentication for network management.
If you choose WPA- RADIUS as the security configuration, you have to specify WPA mode,
algorithm, Radius server, Radius server port and Radius server secret respectively.
Type The WPA encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using
the key, which either PSK (Pre-Shared Key) entered manually
in this field below or automatically negotiated via 802.1x
authentication. Select WPA, WPA2 or Auto as WPA mode.
WPA Algorithm Choose the WPA algorithm, TKIP, AES or Auto.
Server IP Address Enter the IP address of RADIUS server.
Destination Port The UDP port number that the RADIUS server is using. The
default value is 1812, based on RFC 2138.
Shared Secret The RADIUS server and client share a secret that is used to
authenticate the messages sent between them. Both sides must
be configured to use the same shared secret.
