Chapter 11 RADIUS Screen 11.1.1 What You Can Do in the RADIUS Screen Use the Security > RADIUS screen (see Section 11.2 on page 175) if you want to authenticate wireless users using a RADIUS Server and/or Accounting Server. 11.1.2 What You Need To Know About RADIUS The RADIUS server handles the following tasks: • Authentication which determines the identity of the users. • Authorization which determines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to the network. • Accounting which keeps track of the client's network activity. RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your AP acts as a message relay between the wireless client and the network RADIUS server. You should know the IP addresses, ports and share secrets of the external RADIUS server and/or the external RADIUS accounting server you want to use with your NWA. You can configure a primary and backup RADIUS and RADIUS accounting server for your NWA. You can configure up to four RADIUS server profiles. Each profile also has one backup authentication server and a backup accounting server. These profiles can be assigned to an SSID profile in the Wireless > SSID configuration screen. 174 NWA-3160 Series User's Guide
