The back-up servers are optional, but when configured, the AP will 
communicate with the back-up server if the primary server is off-line. After 
the AP has switched to the backup server, it will periodically check the 
status of the primary RADIUS server every five (5) minutes. Once the 
primary RADIUS server is again online, the AP automatically reverts from 
the backup RADIUS server back to the primary RADIUS server. All 
subsequent requests are then sent to the primary RADIUS server.

If you want to control wireless access to the network and if your network 
includes a RADIUS Server, you can store the list of MAC addresses on 
the RADIUS server rather than configure each AP individually. From the 
RADIUS Authentication tab, you can define the IP Address of the server 
that contains a central list of MAC Address values that identify the 
authorized stations that may access the wireless network. You must 
specify information for at least the primary RADIUS server. The back-up 
RADIUS server is optional.

NOTE:
Contact your RADIUS server manufacturer if you have problems 
configuring the server or have problems using RADIUS 
authentication.

Follow these steps to enable RADIUS MAC Access Control:

1. Within the RADIUS Access Control Configuration screen, place 

a check mark in the box labeled Enable RADIUS MAC Access 
Control.
