See Page 36 Authenticating to an Authentication Server Web authentication is a feature that denies a client access to the network until that client supplies a valid username and password. Figure 2-6 on page 22 shows an example of a network configuration that uses a wireless controller, access points, PoE switch, and a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) for authentication. In this configuration, the RADIUS server authenticates users before they gain access to the WLAN. In this configuration: The access points and wireless controller are connected in the same subnet and use the same IP address range assigned to that subnet. There are no routers between the access points and the wireless controller. The access points and wireless controller are connected to a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch. The uplink of the PoE switch connects to a Layer 3 switch or router that provides Internet access. There is a shared secret key exchanged between the access point and RADIUS server. User and user privileges are specified in the RADIUS database. (Servers using other types of authentication, such as Kerberos, have other settings that must be configured.) 23 DWC-1000 Wireless Controller User's Guide
