This chapter describes how to configure the security settings on the WAP device. 
It contains these topics:

•

Several features require communication with a RADIUS authentication server. For 
example, when you configure Virtual Access Points (VAPs) on the WAP device, you 
can configure security methods that control wireless client access (see the 

page). The Dynamic WEP and WPA Enterprise security methods use an external 
RADIUS server to authenticate the clients. The MAC address filtering feature, 
where the client access is restricted to a list, may also be configured to use a 
RADIUS server to control the access. The Captive Portal feature also uses RADIUS 
to authenticate the clients.

Use the Radius Server page to configure the RADIUS servers that are used by 
these features. You can configure up to four globally available IPv4 or IPv6 RADIUS 
servers. However, you must select whether the RADIUS client operates in IPv4 or 
IPv6 mode with respect to the global servers. One of the servers always acts as 
the primary server while the others act as the backup servers.

In addition to using the global RADIUS servers, you can also configure each VAP to 
use a specific set of RADIUS servers. See the 

 page for more information.
