Radius Profiles

Configuring Radius Profiles on the AP allows the administrator to define a profile for RADIUS Servers used by the system 
or by a VLAN. The network administrator can define 

.

The AP communicates with the RADIUS server defined in a profile to provide the following features:

•

•

•

Also, 

 allows centralized user management.

The network administrator can configure default RADIUS authentication servers to be used on a system-wide basis, or in 
networks with VLANs enabled the administrator can also configure separate authentication servers to be used for MAC 
authentication, EAP authentication, or Accounting in each VLAN. You can configure the AP to communicate with up to six 
different RADIUS servers per VLAN/SSID:

• Primary Authentication Server (MAC-based authentication)
• Back-up Authentication Server (MAC-based authentication)
• Primary Authentication Server (EAP/802.1x authentication)
• Back-up Authentication Server (EAP/802.1x authentication)
• Primary Accounting Server
• Back-up Accounting Server

The back-up servers are optional, but when configured, the AP will communicate with the back-up server if the primary 
server is off-line. After the AP has switched to the backup server, it will periodically check the status of the primary 
RADIUS server every five (5) minutes. Once the primary RADIUS server is again online, the AP automatically reverts 
from the backup RADIUS server back to the primary RADIUS server. All subsequent requests are then sent to the 
primary RADIUS server.

You can view monitoring statistics for each of the configured RADIUS servers. 

The user can configure separate RADIUS authentication servers for each authentication mode and for each SSID 
(VLAN). For example:

• The user can configure separate RADIUS servers for RADIUS MAC authentication and 802.1x authentication
• The user can configure separate RADIUS servers for each VLAN: VLAN1 could support only WEP clients, whereas 

VLAN2 could support 802.1x and WEP clients.
