Configuring external RADIUS Server support
If either the EAP 802.1x, Hotspot or Dynamic MAC ACL options have been selected as an
authentication scheme for a WLAN, the RADIUS Config... button at the bottom of the Network >
Wireless LANs > Edit becomes enabled. The RADIUS Configuration screen provides users the
option of defining an external primary and secondary RADIUS Server as well as a NAC Server if you
do not use the switch’s resident RADIUS Server.

NOTE

If using the switch’s local RADIUS Server for user authentication instead of an external primary or
secondary RADIUS Server, see

“Configuring the RADIUS Server”

on page 403. The switch’s local

RADIUS Server provides an easy setup option and offers a high degree of security and accountability.
