In most cases, a centralized RADIUS or local server is used to authenticate users. However, some user networks can use a local RADIUS server for employee authentication and a centralized RADIUS-based captive portal server for guest authentication. To ensure that the RADIUS traffic is routed to the required RADIUS server, the dynamic RADIUS proxy feature must be enabled. The dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters configuration is not required if RadSec is enabled in the RADIUS server profile. If the W-IAP clients need to authenticate to the RADIUS servers through a different IP address and VLAN, ensure that the following steps are completed: 1. Enable dynamic RADIUS proxy. 2. Configure dynamic RADIUS proxy IP, VLAN, netmask, and gateway for each authentication server. 3. Associate the authentication servers to SSID or a wired profile to which the clients connect. After completing the configuration steps mentioned above, you can authenticate the SSID users against the configured dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters. Enabling Dynamic RADIUS Proxy You can enable RADIUS server support using the Instant UI or the CLI. In the Instant UI To enable RADIUS server support: 1. In the Instant main window, click the System link. The System window is displayed. 2. On the General tab of the System window, select the RADIUS check box for Dynamic Proxy. 3.

Configuring Dynamic RADIUS Proxy Parameters
The RADIUS server can be deployed at different locations and VLANs. In most cases, a centralized RADIUS or
local server is used to authenticate users. However, some user networks can use a local RADIUS server for
employee authentication and a centralized RADIUS-based captive portal server for guest authentication. To
ensure that the RADIUS traffic is routed to the required RADIUS server, the dynamic RADIUS proxy feature
must be enabled.
The dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters configuration is not required if RadSec is enabled in the
RADIUS server profile.
If the W-IAP clients need to authenticate to the RADIUS servers through a different IP address and VLAN,
ensure that the following steps are completed:
1.
Enable dynamic RADIUS proxy
.
2.
Configure dynamic RADIUS proxy IP, VLAN, netmask, and gateway for each authentication server
.
3.
Associate the authentication servers to SSID or a wired profile to which the clients connect
.
After completing the configuration steps mentioned above, you can authenticate the SSID users against the
configured dynamic RADIUS proxy parameters.
Enabling Dynamic RADIUS Proxy
You can enable RADIUS server support using the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
To enable RADIUS server support:
1. In the Instant main window, click the
System
link. The
System
window is displayed.
2. On the
