Enabling RADIUS Server Access Control
RADIUS Server Access Control is a method where you use Base Stations in
combination with a third-party RADIUS server.
To use RADIUS Server Access Control, you will need to:
1. Setup a RADIUS server
2. To configure a RADIUS server do the following:
! The list of MAC addresses should be entered in the server’s “users”
file/database along with the password (=authorization password).
! It is also necessary to build a list of IP addresses of all Base Stations that
will use the RADIUS server. This list should be entered in the server’s
station file/database along with the authorization password.
3. Build a list of MAC addresses of all (wireless) stations that you wish to
authorize to establish a wireless connection with your Base Station
infrastructure.
4. Configure all Base Stations to:
! Enable RADIUS MAC Address authentication
! Set the RADIUS Authorization Lifetime
! Set the Authorization Password
! Identify the IP Address of the RADIUS server(s)
! Verify the Authentication Port of the RADIUS server(s)
RADIUS Server Access Control
RADIUS Access Control enables you to:
! Specify the lifetime of a granted authorization
! Set the authorization password
! Assign up to two RADIUS servers for validating the MAC address of
wireless stations.
For each RADIUS server you will need to specify:
! The unique IP address of the RADIUS server
! The Authentication port as used by the selected server.
To restrict access to your network using MAC address control via a RADIUS
server:
1. Start the AP Manager and select the Base Station.
