Chapter 11 RADIUS Screen
11.3 What You Need To Know
The RADIUS server handles the following tasks:
•Authentication which determines the identity of the users.
•Authorization which determines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to the network.
•Accounting which keeps track of the client’s network activity.
RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the wireless client and the network RADIUS server.
You should know the IP addresses, ports and share secrets of the external RADIUS server and/or the external RADIUS accounting server you want to use with your NWA. You can configure a primary and backup RADIUS and RADIUS accounting server for your NWA.
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 Wireless > SSID configuration screen.
