the internal RADIUS server. You may enter up to 1000 users (up to 256 on
the XR-500 Series, or up to 480 on two-radio APs).

associating to a particular SSID, choose an SSID from the pull-down list.

previously defined user group, choose a group from the pull-down list.
This will apply all of the user group’s settings to the user. See
“Understanding Groups” on page 303.
4. Password: (Optional) Enter a password for the user.
5. Verify: (Optional) Retype the user password to verify that you typed it
correctly.

2. User Group: (Optional) If you want to change the user’s group, choose a

settings to the user. See “Understanding Groups” on page 303.

Clients using PEAP may have difficulty authenticating to the AP using the
Internal RADIUS server due to invalid security certificate errors. To
prevent this problem, the user may disable the Validate Server Certificate
option on the station. Do this by displaying the station’s wireless devices and
then displaying the properties of the desired wireless interface. In the
security properties, disable Validate server certificate. In some systems,
this may be found by setting the authentication method to PEAP and
changing the associated settings.
