When configuring IEEE 802.1x mode, you have a choice of whether to use the embedded
RADIUS server or an external RADIUS server that you provide. The Gateway 7001 Series
self-managed AP embedded RADIUS server supports Protected EAP (PEAP) and
MSCHAP V2.
If you use your own RADIUS server, you have the option of using any of a variety of
authentication methods that the IEEE 802.1x mode supports, including certificates,
Kerberos, and public key authentication. Keep in mind, however, that the client stations
must be configured to use the same authentication method being used by the access point.
If you selected “IEEE 802.1x” Security Mode, provide the following:

option you must supply the Radius IP and Radius Key of the server you
want to use.
