∙Server IP – This is the RADIUS server’s IP address. This must be set in order for the AP to communicate with the server.
∙Authentication Port, Accounting Port – These are the port numbers that the server is using to listen for incoming accounting and authenticating packets. These can be set manually on the server but must be set here as well. These are advanced options and the defaults will work without further configuration.
∙Shared Secret – The shared secret is set on the server as part of the 802.1x protocol. It is a key used for encryption between the authenticator and the server. The key set here must be the same as the one set on the server, or the AP and the server will not be able to communicate.
∙Server Timeout – This is the maximum time that the AP will wait for the RADIUS server to respond. If there is no response within this time, the AP will return an error.
Click Apply IEEE 802.1X Settings button to turn on 802.1x support on the
