Re-authentication time: The time period that AP informs clients to re-authenticate.

Radius Server:

1. Primary Radius Server: The IP address and port number of Primary Radius Server.

You need to know the shared secret between AP and Radius Server. The default port number

TLS- Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that ensures privacy between communicating applications and their users on the

Internet. When a server and client communicate, TLS ensures that no third party may eavesdrop or tamper with any message. TLS is the

successor to the Secure Sockets Layer.

MD5- provides basic security and is analogous to the challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP). MD5 is intended for use

with signal signature applications, which require that large files must be compressed by a secure method before being encrypted with a

secret key, under a public key cryptosystem.

TTLS- provides mutual authentication, supports legacy password protocols and does not require clients to have certificates. As a result,

enterprises can reduce the costs associated with operating a certificate authority to distribute and revoke user certificates.
