WPA-EAP — WPA employs a combination of several technologies to
provide an enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless networks. A
RADIUS server is used for authentication, and can also be used for
accounting.
Refer to WPA-PSK for a description of encryption methods.
RADIUS Settings — A RADIUS server must be specified for the access
point to implement IEEE 802.1X network access control and Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA) wireless security.
In addition, you can configure a RADIUS Accounting server to rec
eive user-
se
ssion accounting information from the access point. RADIUS Accounting
can be used to provide valuable information on user activity in the network.
Note:
This guide assumes that you have already configured RADIUS server(s) to
support the access point. Configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond the
scope of this guide, refer to the documentation provided with the RADIUS server
soft
ware.
Radius Auth Server — Specifies the IP address or host name of the
RADIUS authentication server.
Radius Auth Port — The UDP port number used by the RADIUS server
for authentication messages. (Range: 1024-65535; Default: 1812)
Radius Auth Secret — A shared text string used to encrypt messages
between the access point and the RADIUS server. Be sure that the same
text string is specified on the RADIUS authentication server. Do not use
blank spaces in the string. (Maximum length: 255 characters)
Backup Radius Auth — Enables the support of a backup RADIUS
authentication server.
Radius Auth Server — Specifies the IP address or host name of
the backup RADIUS authentication server.
Radius Auth Port — The UDP port number used by the backup
RADIUS server for authentication messages. (Range: 1024-65535;
Default: 1812)
Radius Auth Secret — A shared text string used to encrypt
messages between the access point and the RADIUS server. Be sure
that the same text string is specified on the backup RADIUS
authentication server. Do not use blank spaces in the string.
(Maximum length: 200 characters)
Use Radius Accounting — Enables the support of a RADIUS
accounting server.
