6.13 Introduction to RADIUS

RADIUS is based on a client-sever model that supports authentication and accounting, where access point is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following tasks among others:

•Authentication

Determines the identity of the users.

•Accounting

Keeps track of the client’s network activity.

RADIUS user is a simple package exchange in which your ZyAIR acts as a message relay between the wireless station and the network RADIUS server.

6.14 Configuring RADIUS

Use RADIUS if you want to authenticate wireless users using an external server.

You can configure up to four RADIUS server profiles. Each profile also has one backup authentication server and a backup accounting server. These profiles can be assigned to an SSID profile in the SSID configuration screen

To set up your ZyAIR’s RADIUS server settings, click the WIRELESS link under ADVANCED and then the RADIUS tab. The screen appears as shown.
