Working with controlled APs
Authentication of controlled APs
Where MAC_address is the Ethernet Base port MAC address of the controlled AP (which
is printed on a sticker affixed to the AP case). Use colons to separate characters in the
address.
For example: 00:20:E0:6B:4B:44.
To define multiple addresses, specify additional entries as needed.
This attribute conforms to RADIUS RFC 2865. You may need to define this attribute on
your RADIUS server if it is not already present as follows:
SMI network management private enterprise code = 8744
Vendor-specific attribute type number = 0
Attribute type = string
RADIUS profile
When the Authentication source is RADIUS, this option specifies the name of the
RADIUS profile to use. There is no default. To configure RADIUS profiles, select Service
Controller >> Authentication > RADIUS profiles.
RADIUS username
When the Authentication source is RADIUS, specifies the RADIUS username assigned
to the service controller.
RADIUS password / Confirm RADIUS password
Specifies the password that corresponds with RADIUS username.
Use the local authentication list
When this option is selected, the service controller creates authentication list entries
based on the set of APs that are currently defined on the service controller. For reference
purposes, the table shows the AP name, Serial number and MAC address of all APs
that are defined and will be included in the authentication list.
Note When the local authentication list is enabled, the first time an AP tries to connect to the
service controller, a manager must manually accept the AP on the Controlled APs >>
Overview > Discovered APs page. Otherwise, the AP will not be able to connect to the
service controller.
