Radius

Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication protocol that uses software running on a central server to control access to RADIUS-aware devices on the network. An authentication server contains a database of user credentials for each user that requires access to the network.

A primary RADIUS server must be specified for the SMC2555W-AG to implement IEEE 802.1x network access control and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) wireless security. A secondary RADIUS server may also be specified as a backup should the primary server fail or become inaccessible.

Note: This guide assumes that you have already configured RADIUS server(s) to support the access point. If using WPA Pre-Shared Key mode then no RADIUS configuration is necessary.

Configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond the scope of this guide, refer to the documentation provided with the RADIUS server software.
