ZyAIR B-3000 Intelligent Wireless LAN Access Point

is the RADIUS server. RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your ZyAIR acts as a message
relay between the wireless station and the network RADIUS server. In order to ensure network security, the
access point and the RADIUS server use a shared secret key, which is a password, they both know. The key
is not sent over the network. In addition to the shared key, password information exchanged is also
encrypted to protect the network from unauthorized access. By using EAP to interact with an EAP-
compatible RADIUS server, the access point helps a wireless station and a RADIUS server to perform
mutual authentication.
To authenticate wireless users without interacting with a network RADIUS server, you can store user
profiles locally. To change your ZyAIR’s local user list, click ADVANCED, WIRELESS and then the
Local User Database tab.
If you do enable the EAP authentication, you need to specify the local user database or the external sever
for remote user authentication. To set up your ZyAIR’s local user database, click ADVANCED,
WIRELESS and then the Local User Database tab. To set up your ZyAIR’s RADIUS server settings,
click WIRELESS, then the RADIUS tab.
6.7 Configuring VLAN
The ZyAIR supports 802.1q VLAN tagging. Tagged VLAN uses an explicit tag (VLAN ID) in the MAC
header of a frame to identify VLAN membership. The ZyAIR can identify VLAN tags for incoming
Ethernet frames and add VLAN tags to outgoing Ethernet frames.
Configure VLAN (virtual LAN) with multi-ESS to extend the wireless logical grouping to the wired
network. Each ESS is assigned a unique VLAN ID.
Click ADVANCED and then VLAN. The screen appears as shown next.
