Configuring the EAS
Once you decide which access point will be configured to use its EAS,
you need to enable the EAS on that access point and configure its
database.
To configure the EAS
1. Install any certificates. For help, see Installing and Uninstalling
Certificates on page 178.
2. On the access point that will contain the EAS, enable the EAS. For
help, see Enabling the EAS on page 181.
3. Configure the EAS database. For help, see Configuring the Database
on page 183.
4. Make sure that all access points that are using this EAS (as a password
server, ACL, authentication server, etc.) are configured with this
access point’s IP address in the appropriate RADIUS server IP Address
field. For help, see:
‰ Configuring the Access Point to Use a Password Server on
page 152.
‰ Using an Access Control List (ACL) on page 159.
‰ Configuring the Access Point as an Authenticator on page 166.
Enabling the
EAS
In the AT-WA7500 access points, the default secret key is the same. By
having the same default secret key, you can verify that all access points
can communicate with the EAS. Then, for more security, you should
change the secret key to prevent unauthorized access points from
communicating with your network.
If you want to use the same secret key for communications between the
EAS and all access points, in the Embedded Authentication Server
screen, enter the default secret key. For each access point, in the RADIUS
Server List screen, enter the EAS IP address, enter the default secret key
and check the 802.1x check box.
If you want to use a different secret key for communications between
the EAS and each access point, you need to add each access point to the
EAS database as a RADIUS client. For each access point, in the RADIUS
Server List, enter the EAS IP address, enter the default secret key and
check the 802.1x check box.
