specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on
the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is not
found, the ZyAIR then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on
the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If the
ZyAIR cannot reach the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR then checks the local user
database on the ZyAIR. When the user name is not found or password does not
match in the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR will not check the local user database and
the authentication fails.
