[. . . ] An authentication server contains a database of user credentials for each user that requires access to the network. A RADIUS server must be specified for the access point to implement IEEE 802. 1X network access control and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) wireless security. Click "WLAN1/WLAN2 Security" and be sure that an "Enterprise" mode is selected. Note: This guide assumes that you have already configured RADIUS server(s) to support the access point. Configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond the scope of this guide, refer to the documentation provided with the RADIUS server software. Figure 5-41. RADIUS Settings RADIUS Setting -- Configures RADIUS server settings. Note: RADIUS settings only apply to WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2 Enterprise modes. · RADIUS Server Network ­ Use the RADIUS Server Network options to specify if the server is located on the local area network, or wide area network. (Default: WAN) · RADIUS Server Address ­ Specifies the IP address of the RADIUS server. · RADIUS Server Port ­ The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number used by the RADIUS server for authentication messages. (Range: 1024-65535; Default: 1812) · RADIUS Server Key ­ A shared text string used to encrypt messages between the access point and the RADIUS server. (Maximum length: 20 characters) 5-32 Wireless Settings WDS Settings The WLAN1 radio interface can be configured to operate in a mode that allows it to forward traffic directly to other access point units. To set up links between access point units, you must configure the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) forwarding table by specifying the wireless MAC address of all units to which you want to forward traffic. 5 Traffic forwarded to WDS links is automatically converted to 802. 11 four-address format frame. This uses the MAC addresses of the station and that of the AP connected to it on the transmitting LAN, and the MAC addresses of the AP functioning as a wireless repeater/bridge and that of the station connected to it on a neighboring LAN in the 802. 11 frame header. Ethernet traffic follows a three-address format that is reconstructed for WDS transmission. The wireless AP/Router will reconstruct the frame format upon receival and transmission using the criteria of the receiving and forwarding port location and whether it is Ethernet or wireless in type. Note: The wireless AP/Router does not support the spanning tree algorithm. WDS links should be configured appropriately to avoid causing loops on the network. Up to four WDS links can be specified for each unit in the WDS network. Both two units are configured as Router Mode One unit is Router Mode and one unit is AP Bridge Mode Both two units are configured as AP Bridge Mode When both units are set to Router Mode, be sure to check these settings: · Be sure each unit is configured with a different LAN IP address. · Be sure that only one unit has Internet access on its WAN port. If one unit is providing Internet access, enable the DHCP server on that unit. Note: WDS Settings only apply to WLAN1. WLAN2 is pre-configured to AP mode unless WLAN1 is configured to act as a bridge, in which case WLAN2 is disabled. Figure 5-42. WDS Settings 5-33 5 System Configuration WDS Setting -- Configures WDS related parameters. Up to four MAC addresses can be specified for each unit in the WDS network. WDS links may either be manually configured (Bridge and Repeater modes) or auto-discovered (Lazy mode).

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS C-6 Glossary 10BASE-T IEEE 802. 3-2005 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3 or better UTP cable. 100BASE-TX IEEE 802. 3-2005 specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over two pairs of Category 5 or better UTP cable. Access Point An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks. Access points attached to a wired network, support the creation of multiple radio cells that enable roaming throughout a facility. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) An encryption algorithm that implements symmetric key cryptography. AES provides very strong encryption using a completely different ciphering algorithm to TKIP and WEP. Authentication The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access. [. . . ]
