Configuring RADIUS Accounting
■ Secondary Server Setup: Configure a secondary RADIUS Accounting
server to provide a backup in case the primary server fails. The access
point uses the secondary server if the primary server fails or becomes
inaccessible. Once the access point switches over to the secondary server,
it periodically attempts to establish communication again with primary
server. If communication with the primary server is re-established, the
secondary server reverts to a backup role.
To Set RADIUS Accounting Server Parameters:
1. Select the Administration tab.
2. Click the [
Accounting Servers] button.
3. Select Enabled to enable RADIUS accounting.
4. For the primary RADIUS Accounting server, type the IP address in the IP
Address field.
5. In the Port field, specify the UDP port number used by the RADIUS
Accounting server. The standard port number is 1813.
6. In the Secret Key field, specify the shared text string that is also used by
the RADIUS Accounting server.
7. (Optional) For the Timeout and Retransmit Attempts fields, accept the
default values unless you experience problems connecting to the RADIUS
Accounting server over the network.
8. Set the Interim Update Interval to send periodic accounting information to
the server.
9. (Optional) If you have a secondary RADIUS Accounting server in the
network, specify its IP address and other parameters in the appropriate
fields. Otherwise, leave the IP address as all zeros (0.0.0.0).
10. Click the
[Apply Changes] button.
