6.1.5.1 Accounting Deployment Considerations
Before defining a AAA configuration on a WLAN, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the
configuration is optimally effective:
• When using RADIUS authentication, Motorola Solutions recommends the WAN port round trip delay not
exceed 150ms. Excessive delay over a WAN can cause authentication and roaming issues. When
excessive delays exists, a distributed RADIUS service should be used.
• Motorola Solutions recommends authorization policies be implemented when users need to be restricted
to specific WLANs, or time and date restrictions need to be applied.
