option during the configuration of a profile. As part of the advanced authentication server 
settings, you can define multiple external RADIUS servers that you would typically use in 
a more complex network with many profiles. You can then assign different RADIUS 
servers to different profiles.

By default, the external RADIUS server for the basic authentication group is called 
basic-Auth. You cannot change this name. By default, the external RADIUS 
authentication servers for the advanced authentication groups are called Auth1 through 

Auth8, and you can change these names. You can assign the basic-Auth server to an 

advanced profile group, and you can assign a RADIUS server of an advanced 
authentication group to the basic profile group.

See the following configuration guidelines for external RADIUS servers:

You must add the IP address of the wireless controller as a RADIUS client to the 
RADIUS server. All managed access points are then automatically known to the 
RADIUS server.

For configuration guidelines for external authentication of captive portal users, see 

External LDAP server. You can define one external LDAP server (commonly referred to 
as an Active Directory [AD] server). You must specify its configuration on the basic 

Authentication Server page (see 

page 142) so that you can select this authentication option during the configuration of a 
profile.

By default, the external LDAP server for the basic authentication group is called 
basic-LDAP. You cannot change this name, and you cannot configure any LDAP servers 
for the advanced authentication groups. You can assign the basic-LDAP server to both 
the basic profile group and to advanced profile groups.

All three servers can be active so that the profiles that you set up can be configured to work 

with different authentication servers. For example, you could set up a guest profile with no 
authentication, an engineering profile that uses external RADIUS authentication, and a 
marketing profile that uses external LDAP authentication. 

For authentication, you can configure and use a single LDAP server 
only. However, you can configure and use several RADIUS servers.

The settings that you specify on the Authentication Server page affect the selections that are 
available in the Network Authentication menu and the corresponding Authentication 
Server field on the Edit Profile page. For information about how to configure security profiles,
