Section 4 - Managing the Access Point
Field Description
RADIUS IP Address
Type
Specify the IP version that the RADIUS server uses.
You can toggle between the address types to congure 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 RADIUS server for this VAP.
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.
RADIUS IP or IPv6
Address 1–3
Enter up to three IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses to use as the backup RADIUS servers for this
VAP. The eld label is RADIUS IP Address when the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option
is selected and RADIUS IPv6 Address when the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is
selected.
If authentication fails with the primary server, each congured backup server is tried in
sequence.
RADIUS Key Enter the RADIUS key in the text box.
The RADIUS Key is the shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. You can use up to
63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must
congure the same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. The text you enter will be
displayed as “*” characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type.
RADIUS Key 1–3 Enter the RADIUS key associated with the congured backup RADIUS servers. The server
at RADIUS IP Address-1 uses RADIUS Key-1, RADIUS IP Address-2 uses RADIUS Key-2,
and so on.
Enable RADIUS
Accounting
Select this option to track and measure the resources a particular user has consumed
such as system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on.
If you enable RADIUS accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and all
backup servers.
Enable RADIUS
FailThrough
Select this option to allow the secondary RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients
if the authentication with the primary RADIUS server is unsuccessful, or if the primary
RADIUS server is unavailable.
Active Server Specify which congured RADIUS server to use as the active RADIUS server.
Broadcast Key
Refresh Rate
Enter a value to set the interval at which the broadcast (group) key is refreshed for clients
associated to this VAP (the default is 300).
The valid range is 0–86400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the broadcast key is not
refreshed.
Session Key
Refresh Rate
Enter a value to set the interval at which the AP will refresh session (unicast) keys for each
client associated to the VAP.
The valid range is 0–86400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the broadcast key is not
refreshed.
Table 28 - WPA Enterprise
Note: After you congure the security settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to
save the settings.
Conguring Wireless Multicast Forwarding
The Wireless Multicast Forwarding provides an efcient way to forward the multicast trafc on the wireless medium
and overcomes the multicast transmission issues on WLAN using the repeated unicast of multicast frames. It
uses IGMP frames to keep track of participating group members, and multicast packets are transmitted only to the
interested members after unicast MAC conversion .
With WMF, the data transfer is more reliable as the frames are sent as unicast, and robust transmission is possible
as dynamic per station rate control can be done based on the link errors and noise conditions. The multicast group
members can be a STA end point. Streaming between STA devices will also be supported. The multicast streaming
server can be attached to any of the LAN ports.
