Uncheck this box to disable the auto IP assign mode. Then configure a static IP
address manually for the WLAN IP address of AC. When configuring the static IP, the
address of any existed loopback or L3 interfaces should be used, otherwise, it may not
be effective and the WLAN function won’t work normally.
4.3 AP Authentication Mode
There are 3 modes of AP authentication. The MAC address mode is the default.
“None” means the automatic registration authentication mode. The AP database is
not required to be added manually into the AC, it will join a cluster when the AC or AP
discovers the other side.
“MAC” means the MAC address authentication mode. The ap database needs to be
entered manually, and then an AP can join the cluster.
“Password” means the password authentication mode. After the connection is made
between the AP and the AC, they can both join the cluster using the password
authentication.
4.4 AP Validation Method
With the “MAC” option for the AP authentication mode, the AP validation method must
be configured. This option allows the AP to use local authentication or RADIUS server
authentication for the AP authentication.
The local authentication is the default. The authentication method can be changed to
RADIUS server authentication by selecting the parameter to be “radius”.
Selecting “Radius” for the AP authentication method, the user needs to choose a
server name from the RADIUS server group list (it should be configured first and it is
shown in chapter 7 security authentication), and the authentication request will be sent to
the selected RADIUS server.
