Introduction
This chapter explains how to configure the different authentication services that the
controller can use to authenticate user logins and administrator logins. The following table
summarizes the services that are available and what they can be used for.
All authentication services support the following authentication types:
When configuring 802.1X or MAC-based authentication on an MSM317 switch port,
authentication services must be provided by a third-party RADIUS server. (For more
information on each authentication type, see Configuring 802.1X support on an MSM317
switch port on page 10-14 and Configuring MAC-based authentication on an MSM317
switch port on page 10-19.)
Using the integrated RADIUS server
The internal RADIUS server is not intended as a replacement for the high-end/high-
performance RADIUS server required for large scale deployments. Rather, it is offered as a
cost-effective solution for managing user authentication for small hotspots or enterprise
networks.
