Configuring the RADIUS Server Settings RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is a protocol for managing Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) of multiple users in a network. A RADIUS server stores a database of user information, and can validate a user at the request of a gateway device in the network when a user requests access to network resources. The wireless access point can relay login information from wireless clients to an external RADIUS server for AAA services. In an environment with many users, using a RADIUS server allows centralized control for individual users, providing better network security than using a single preshared key for all users.

Configuring the RADIUS Server Settings
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is a protocol for managing
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) of multiple users in a network. A RADIUS
server stores a database of user information, and can validate a user at the request of a gateway
device in the network when a user requests access to network resources. The wireless access point
can relay login information from wireless clients to an external RADIUS server for AAA services.
In an environment with many users, using a RADIUS server allows centralized control for
individual users, providing better network security than using a single preshared key for all users.
