Configuring External Radius Server Support
If either the EAP 802.1x, Hotspot or Dynamic MAC ACL options have been selected as an authentication
scheme for a WLAN, the Radius Config... button at the bottom of the Network > Wireless LANs > Edit
becomes enabled. The Radius Configuration screen provides users the option of defining an external primary
and secondary Radius Server as well as a NAC Server if you do not use the switch’s resident Radius Server.
The switch ships with a default configuration defining the local Radius Server as the primary authentication
source (default users are admin with superuser privileges and operator with monitor privileges). No
secondary authentication source is specified. However, Motorola recommends using an external Radius
Server as the primary user authentication source and the local switch Radius Server as the secondary user
authentication source. To use an external Radius Server as either a primary or secondary authentication
source, it must be specified appropriately.
To configure an external Radius Server for EAP 802.1x, Hotspot or Dynamic MAC ACL WLAN support:
1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
2. Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab.
3. Click the Edit button.
4. Select either the EAP 802.1x, Hotspot or Dynamic MAC ACL button from within the Authentication
field. This enables the Radius Config... button at the bottom of the Network > Wireless LANs > Edit
screen.
5. Select the Radius Config... button. The Radius Configuration screen displays for defining an external
Radius or NAC Server.
NOTE: If using the switch’s local Radius Server for user authentication instead of an
external primary or secondary Radius Server, see Configuring the Radius Server on page
6-84. The switch’s local Radius Server provides an easy setup option and offers a high
degree of security and accountability.
NOTE: To optimally use an external Radius Server with the switch, Motorola recommends
defining specific external Server attributes to best utilize user privilege values for specific
switch permissions. For information on defining the external Radius Server configuration,
see Configuring an External Radius Server for Optimal Switch Support on page 4-52.
