Choose RADIUS Servers
RADIUS Servers in a Network Without Endpoint Integrity
The first PDPs discussed in this chapter are RADIUS servers, which provide these authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services:
■Authenticate
■Authorize
■Create accounting
ProCurve Networking offers RADIUS services in these devices:
■ProCurve NAC 800
■ProCurve Wireless Edge Services Module internal RADIUS server (sup- porting up to 500 users in the local database)
■ProCurve AP 530 internal RADIUS server (supporting up to 100 users)
In addition, ProCurve devices have been validated with these RADIUS servers:
■Juniper® Networks (formerly Funk)
■Microsoft® Internet Authentication Service (IAS)
You might have a different RADIUS server that will function with ProCurve devices. However, decision trees in this section will cover only the servers listed above.

The endpoint will always be a separate
