5.8 VNS global settings
Before defining a specific VNS, define the global settings that will apply to all VNS
definitions. These global settings include:
• Identify the location and password of RADIUS servers on the enterprise
network. The defined servers appear as available choices when you set up
the authentication mechanism for each VNS.
• Define the shared secret used to encrypt the Pairwise Master Key (PMK) for
WPA2 v.2 pre-authentication between HiPath Wireless Controllers on the
network.
• Enable Dynamic Authorization Server (DAS) configuration support.
• Adjust admission control thresholds. Admission control thresholds protect
admitted traffic against overloads, provides distinct thresholds for VO and VI,
and distinct thresholds for roaming and new streams.
Note: The Wireless 802.11n AP does not support admission control
thresholds.
To define RADIUS servers for VNS global settings:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual
Network list is displayed.
2. In the left pane, click Global Settings. The Authentication tab is displayed.
