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
WLA-5000AP V3 (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.
To Enable RADIUS Server:
Server IP: The IP address of the RADIUS server.
Port Number: The port number that your RADIUS server uses for authentication. The default setting is 1812.
RADIUS Type: RADIUS

RADIUS server. The shared secret can contain up to 64 alphanumeric characters.
RADIUS Server Reattempt Period: The number of times the WLA-5000AP V3 should attempt to contact
