802.1x with RADIUS Authentication
RADIUS is a client/server protocol and software that enables remote access servers to communicate with a central server to authenticate
When an MU authenticates with a WS 2000 Wireless Switch through an Access Port, the switch initially performs RADIUS authentication, even though the RADIUS server exists as a separate entity on the wired LAN. This RADIUS server maintains user profiles in a central database that all remote servers can share. This centralized location provides better security by using a
The RADIUS server on the wired LAN communicates with the WS 2000 Wireless Switch RADIUS client, passing authentication information from the MU. A successful negotiation authenticates the MU.
