Chapter 2 How it works Chapter 2 Configuring the connection To configure the connection to a RADIUS server, do the following: 1. Open the Security > RADIUS page. 2. Click Add New Profile. The RADIUS profiles configuration page opens. 3. Configure the parameters as described in the sections that follow. 4. Click Save, when you are done. Profile name Specify a name to identify the profile. RADIUS profile settings Authentication port Specify the port to use for authentication. By default, RADIUS servers use port 1812. Accounting port Specify the port to use for accounting. By default, RADIUS servers use port 1813. Retry interval Controls the retry interval (in seconds) for access and accounting requests that timeout. If no reply is received within this interval, the WAP-200 switches between the primary and secondary RADIUS servers (if defined). If a reply is received after the interval expires, it is ignored. This parameter applies to access and accounting requests generated by the following: • administrator logins to the Management Tool • MAC-based authentication of devices The maximum number of retries can be determined as follows: • MAC-based and WAP-200 authentication: Number of retries is infinite. • 802.1x authentication. Retries are controlled by the 802.1x client software. 71

Configuring the connection
To configure the connection to a RADIUS server, do the following:
1.
Open the
Security > RADIUS
page
.
2.
Click
Add New Profile
. The
RADIUS profiles configuration
page opens.
3.
Configure the parameters as described in the sections that follow.
4.
Click
Save
, when you are done.
Profile name
Specify a name to identify the profile.
RADIUS profile settings
Authentication port
Specify the port to use for authentication. By default, RADIUS servers use port 1812.
Accounting port
Specify the port to use for accounting. By default, RADIUS servers use port 1813.
Retry interval
Controls the retry interval (in seconds) for access and accounting requests that time-
out. If no reply is received within this interval, the WAP-200 switches between the
primary and secondary RADIUS servers (if defined). If a reply is received after the
interval expires, it is ignored.
This parameter applies to access and accounting requests generated by the following:
•
administrator logins to the
Management Tool
•
MAC-based authentication of devices
The maximum number of retries can be determined as follows:
•
MAC-based and WAP-200 authentication: Number of retries is infinite.
•
802.1x authentication. Retries are controlled by the 802.1x client software.
