Data pane item

Description

SHARED KEY

Enter a shared key for communicating with the external RADIUS server.

 

 

RETYPE

Re-enter the shared key.

SHARED KEY

 

 

 

TIMEOUT

Specify a timeout value in seconds. The value determines the timeout for one

 

RADIUS request. The AP retries to send the request several times (as configured in

 

the Retry count), before the user is disconnected. For example, if the Timeout is 5

 

seconds, Retry counter is 3, user is disconnected after 20 seconds. The default

 

value is 5 seconds.

 

 

RETRY COUNT

Specify a number between 1 and 5. Indicates the maximum number of

 

authentication requests that are sent to the server group. The default value is 3

 

requests.

 

 

RFC 3576

Select Enabled to allow the APs to process RFC 3576-compliant CoA and

 

disconnect messages from the RADIUS server. Disconnect messages terminate

 

the user session immediately, whereas the CoA messages modify session

 

authorization attributes such as data filters.

 

 

NAS IP ADDRESS

Enter the VC IP address. The NAS IP address is the VC IP address that is sent in

 

data packets.

 

NOTE: If you do not enter the IP address, the VC IP address is used by default

 

when Dynamic RADIUS Proxy (DRP) is enabled.

 

 

NAS IDENTIFIER

Use this to configure strings for RADIUS attribute 32, NAS Identifier, to be sent with

 

RADIUS requests to the RADIUS server.

 

 

DEAD TIME

Specify a dead time for authentication server in minutes.

 

When two or more authentication servers are configured on the AP and a server is

 

unavailable, the dead time configuration determines the duration for which the

 

authentication server is available if the server is marked as unavailable.

 

 

DYNAMIC RADIUS

Specify the following dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters:

PROXY

 

PARAMETERS

DRP IP — IP address to be used as source IP for RADIUS packets.

 

DRP MASK — Subnet mask of the DRP IP address.

 

DRP VLAN — VLAN in which the RADIUS packets are sent.

 

DRP GATEWAY — Gateway IP address of the DRP VLAN.

 

For more information on dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters and configuration

 

procedure, see Configuring dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters on page 51.

 

 

nLDAP Server —To configure an LDAP server, specify the attributes described in the following table:

Table 22: LDAP server configuration parameters

Data pane item
