Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide 113
System Security
This chapter describes how to configure the security settings on the WAP device.
It contains these topics:
• RADIUS Server
• 802.1X/802.1X Supplicant
• Password Complexity
• WPA-PSK Complexity
RADIUS Server
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 Radio
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.
NOTE In addition to using the global RADIUS servers, you can also configure each VAP to
use a specific set of RADIUS servers. See the Networks page for more information.
