Section 4 - Managing the Access Point

You can congure up to four global IPv4 or IPv6 RADIUS servers. One of the servers always acts as a primary while

the others act as backup servers. The network type (IPv4 or IPv6) and accounting mode are common across all

congured RADIUS servers. You can congure each VAP to use the global RADIUS server settings, which is the

default, or you can congure a per-VAP RADIUS server set. You can also congure separate RADIUS server settings

for each VAP. For example, you can congure one VAP to use an IPv6 RADIUS server while other VAPs use the

global IPv4 RADIUS server settings you congure.

If wireless clients use a security mode that does not communicate with the RADIUS server, or if the RADIUS server

does not provide the VLAN information, you can assign a VLAN ID to each VAP. The AP assigns the VLAN to all

wireless clients that connect to the AP through that VAP.

Note: Before you congure VLANs on the AP, be sure to verify that the switch and DHCP server

the AP uses can support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation.

To set up multiple VAPs, click Manage > VAP.

Figure 24 - Modify Virtual Access Point Settings

The following table describes the elds and conguration options on the VAP page.

Field Description

RADIUS IP Address

Type

Specify the IP version that the RADIUS server uses.

You can toggle between the address types to congure IPv4 and IPv6 global RADIUS

address settings, but the AP contacts only the RADIUS server or servers for the address

type you select in this eld.

RADIUS IP Address

RADIUS IPv6

Address

Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the primary global RADIUS server. By default, each VAP

uses the global RADIUS settings that you dene for the AP at the top of the VAP page.

When the rst wireless client tries to authenticate with the AP, the AP sends an

authentication request to the primary server. If the primary server responds to the

authentication request, the AP continues to use this RADIUS server as the primary server,

and authentication requests are sent to the address you specify.

If the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected in the previous eld, enter the IP

address of the RADIUS server that all VAPs use by default, for example 192.168.10.23.

If the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected, enter the IPv6 address of the

primary global RADIUS server, for example 2001:0db8:1234::abcd.
