Creating an AAA Server
To add and manage AAA servers that the controller can use to authenticate users.
Follow these steps to create a RADIUS or RADIUS Accounting server (if you have one on the
network) for the AP zone.
1. Click Configuration > AP Zones > Zone Name ({AP Zone Name}) > AAA.
For example, if you want to create an AAA server for an AP zone named ap-zone-1, click
Configuration > AP Zones > Zone Name (ap-zone-1) > AAA.
2. Click Create New.
The form for creating a new zone RADIUS server appears.
3. Configure General Options.
• Name: Type a name for the AAA server that you are adding.
• Description: Type a brief description for the AAA server.
• Type: Select the type of AAA server that you have on the network. Options include:
• RADIUS
• RADIUS Accounting
• Active Directory
• LDAP
NOTE: AP zones with dual network configuration only support AAA server configuration
with IPv4addresses.
• Backup RADIUS: Select the Enable backup RADIUS server check box if a secondary
RADIUS server exists on the network. Configure the settings in Step 5.
4. In the Primary Server section, configure the settings of the primary RADIUS server, RADIUS
Accounting server, Active Directory and LDAP.
• IP Address: Type the IP address of the AAA server.
NOTE: The format of the IP address that you need to enter here depends on the AP IP
mode that you selected when you created the AP zone (see Creating an AP Zone). If you
selected IPv4 Only, enter an IPv4 address. If you selected IPv6 Only, enter an IPv6
address.Ensure that the IP address of the AAA server is the same in the primary server
and the secondary server.
• Port: Type the port number of the AAA server. The default RADIUS server port number is
1812 and the default RADIUS Accounting server port number is 1813.
• Shared Secret: Type the AAA shared secret.
• Confirm Secret: Retype the shared secret to confirm.
