RADIUS Settings
Figure 21. IEEE 802.1X panel – RADIUS Settings
Server IP
– This is the RADIUS server’s IP address. This must be set in order for the
AP to communicate with the server.
Authentication Port, Accounting Port – These are the port numbers that the server is
using to listen for incoming accounting and authenticating packets. These can be set
manually on the server but must be set here as well. These are advanced options and
the defaults will work without further configuration.
Shared Secret – The shared secret is set on the server as part of the 802.1x protocol.
It is a key used for encryption between the authenticator and the server. The key set
here must be the same as the one set on the server, or the AP and the server will not
be able to communicate.
Server Timeout – This is the maximum time that the AP will wait for the RADIUS
server to respond. If there is no response within this time, the AP will return an error.
