RADIUS servers provide centralized authentication services to wireless clients. Two
RADIUS servers can be defined: one acts as a primary, and the other acts as a backup.
MAC address filtering based authentication requires a MAC address filter table to be
created in either the WHA-5500CPE (as described in Chapter 3.2.3 MAC Filtering
Settings) and/or the RADIUS server. During the authentication phase of a wireless station,
the MAC address filter table is searched for a match against the wireless client’s MAC
address to determine whether the station is to be allowed or denied to access the network.

shared secret configured in the RADIUS server. The shared secret can contain up to 64
