You have created a WM-AD. Now you must configure the authentication 
mechanism for the WM-AD.

The following section explains how to configure the authentication mechanism.

The Summit WM Switch offers several authentication options. The options can be 
classified under network assignment types – SSID and AAA (Authentication, 
Authorization and Accounting).

SSID – The SSID network assignment type offers the following authentication 
options:

By Captive Portal

By internal Captive Portal

By external Captive Portal

No Captive Portal support

By MAC-based authentication

Note: You must note here that the internal Captive Portal does not substitute the 
external RADIUS server. The RADIUS server is still needed. The internal Captive 
Portal within the Summit WM Switch displays the webpage to enable the users to 
supply their user name and password. The user name and password are sent to the 
configured RADIUS server for authentication. 
In case of external Captive Portal, webpage authentication is performed by the 
external Captive Portal.

AAA – The AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) network 
assignment type offers the following authentication options:

By 802.1x authentication – The mobile user is authenticated before 
gaining access to the network.

By MAC-based authentication – The mobile user is authenticated on the 
basis of their MAC address.

The following figure illustrates the authentication options:
