Configuring Dynamic RADIUSProxy Parameters
The RADIUS server can be deployed at different locations and VLANs. In most cases, a centralized RADIUSor
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 RADIUSproxy feature must be
enabled.
If the 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 RADIUSproxy.
2. Configure dynamic RADIUSproxy IP, VLAN. netmask, gateway for each authentication server.
3. Associate the authentication servers to SSID or a wired profile to which the clients connect.
