Chapter 7: Configuring the Embedded Authentication Server (EAS)
212
Configuring the
Database
The EAS database contains up to 128 clients that this access point
authorizes for logins, RADIUS clients, ACL clients, and 802.1x clients.
This screen is hot settable; that is, to activate a change, you click Save/
Discard changes, and then click Save Changes without Reboot.
You can also create a database (using Microsoft Excel or Notepad) and
then import it. Or you can configure one database, export it, and import it
to an EAS in another RADIUS server. For help, see “Exporting and
Importing Databases” on page 217.
Table 58. EAS Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Explanation
Enable Server Determines if you are using a password server to
authenticate end devices that can communicate
with this access point. Clear this check box.
Default Secret Key Enter a default secret key that is used between
the EAS and all access points. This secret key
can be from 1 to 32 characters in ASCII or in
hexadecimal. To enter a hexadecimal key, it must
start with 0x.
UDP Port Enter the UDP port number on which the EAS
listens. Port number assignments are
administered by the Internet Assigned Number
Authority (IANA). If you change this value you
should choose a number between 49152 and
65535.
Authorization Time Enter the amount of time that RADIUS clients
(access points) remain authorized by the server
before they need to be reauthorized. The format
is d:hh:mm, where d is days, hh is hours, and mm
is minutes. If you enter zeros, the RADIUS server
will only authenticate a RADIUS client the first
time it connects.
Enable PEAP Fast
Reconnect Determines if PEAP clients can perform a fast
reconnect when roaming. Some Microsoft
Windows CE supplicants do not support fast
reconnect so this option must be disabled to allow
them to authenticate.
