• Use Global RADIUS Server Settings—By default, each VAP uses the
global RADIUS settings that you define for the WAP device (see RADIUS
Server). However, you can configure each VAP to use a different set of
RADIUS servers.
To use the global RADIUS server settings, ensure that the check box is
selected.
To use a separate RADIUS server for the VAP, uncheck the check box and
enter the RADIUS server IP address and key in these fields:
• Server IP Address Type—The IP version that the RADIUS server uses.
You can toggle between the address types to configure IPv4 and IPv6
global RADIUS address settings, but the WAP device contacts only the
RADIUS server or servers for the address type you select in this field.
• Server IP Address 1 or Server IPv6 Address 1—The address for the
primary RADIUS server for this VAP.
When the first wireless client tries to authenticate with the WAP device, the
WAP device sends an authentication request to the primary server. If the
primary server responds to the authentication request, the WAP device
continues to use this RADIUS server as the primary server, and
authentication requests are sent to the address you specify.
The IPv4 address should be in a form similar to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (192.0.2.10).
The IPv6 address should be in a form similar to
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx (2001:DB8::CAD5:7D91).
• Server IP Address 2 to 4 or Server IPv6 Address 2 to 4—Up to three IPv4
or IPv6 backup RADIUS server addresses.
If authentication fails with the primary server, each configured backup
server is tried in sequence.
• Key—The shared secret key that the WAP device uses to authenticate to
the primary RADIUS server.
You can use up to 63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The
key is case sensitive and must match the key configured on the RADIUS
server. The text you enter is shown as asterisks.
• Key 2 to Key 4—The RADIUS key associated with the configured backup
RADIUS servers. The server at Server IP (IPv6) Address 2 uses Key 2, the
server at Server IP (IPv6) Address 3 uses Key 3, and so on.
