D-Link Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide If you select IEEE 802.1X as the Security Mode, additional fields display, as Figure 11 shows. Figure 11. IEEE 802.1X Configuration Table 12 describes the configuration options for the IEEE 802.1X security mode. Table 12. IEEE 802.1X Field Description Use Global RADIUS Server Settings By default each VAP uses the global RADIUS settings that you define for the AP at the top of the VAP page. • To use the global RADIUS server settings, make sure the check box is selected. • To use a separate RADIUS server for the VAP, clear the check box and enter the RADIUS server IP address and key in the following fields. RADIUS IP If the Use Global RADIUS Server Settings check box is cleared, enter the RADIUS IP in the text box. The RADIUS IP is the IP address of the RADIUS server. RADIUS Key If the Use Global RADIUS Server Settings check box is cleared, enter the RADIUS Key in the text box. The RADIUS Key is the shared secret key for the RADIUS server. The text you enter will be displayed as "*" characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type. You can use up to 63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must configure the same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. Enable RADIUS accounting If the Use Global RADIUS Server Settings check box is cleared, click the Enable RADIUS accounting check box to track and measure the resources a particular user has consumed, such as system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on. NOTE: After you configure the security settings, you must click Update to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low. WPA Personal WPA Personal is an implementation of the IEEE 802.11i standard, which includes AESCCMP and TKIP mechanisms. The Personal version of WPA employs a pre-shared key (PSK) instead of using IEEE 802.1X and EAP as is used in the Enterprise WPA security mode). The 50 © 2001-2008 D-Link Corporation.
