Configuring the Access Point for Local Authentication and
Authorization
You can configure AAA to operate without a server by configuring the wireless device to implement
AAA in local mode. The wireless device then handles authentication and authorization. No accounting
is available in this configuration.
Note You can configure the wireless device as a local authenticator for 802.1x-enabled client devices to
provide a backup for your main server or to provide authentication service on a network without a
RADIUS server. See
Chapter 9, “Configuring an Access Point as a Local Authenticator,” for detailed
instructions on configuring the wireless device as a local authenticator.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the wireless device for local AAA:
