Enable RADIUS Accounting—Enables tracking and measuring of the 
resources that a particular user has consumed, such as system time, amount 
of data transmitted and received, and so on. If you enable RADIUS 
accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and all backup 
servers.

Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.

This section provides a description about the 802.1X feature and describes how 
to configure it. 

IEEE 802.1X authentication enables the WAP device to gain access to a secured 
wired network. You can enable the WAP device as an 802.1X supplicant (client) on 
the wired network. A user name and password that are encrypted using the MD5 
algorithm can be configured to allow the WAP device to authenticate using 802.1X.

On the networks that use IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control, a 
supplicant cannot gain access to the network until the 802.1X authenticator grants 
access. If your network uses 802.1X, you must configure 802.1X authentication 
information on the WAP device, so that it can supply it to the authenticator.

To configure the 802.1X supplicant settings: 

Click System Security > 802.1X Supplicant.

The Certificate File Status area shows whether a current certificate exists: 

•

Certificate File Present—Indicates whether the HTTP SSL Certificate file is 
present. The field shows Yes if it is present. The default setting is No.

•

Certificate Expiration Date—Indicates when the HTTP SSL Certificate file 
will expire. The range is a valid date.

In the Supplicant Configuration area, you can configure the 802.1X operational 
status and basic settings: 

•

Administrative Mode—Enables or disables the 802.1X supplicant 
functionality.
