Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuring a WLAN
You can configure the module to use these types of accounting:
■ syslog—The Wireless Edge Services xl Module forwards logs about sta-
tions in this WLAN to a syslog server.
■ RADIUS—The Wireless Edge Services xl Module sends messages to a
RADIUS accounting server when a station connects or disconnects and,
optionally, at universally throughout the connection. The messages
include information such as the station’s MAC address, the duration of the
connection, and the network resources consumed.
The RADIUS accounting server can be an external server or the Wireless
Edge Services xl Module’s own internal RADIUS server. See Chapter 11:
RADIUS Server for more information about this server.
The WLAN on which you enable RADIUS accounting must also enforce
authentication to a RADIUS server.
Enabling Logging to a Syslog Server on a WLAN
Follow these steps to enable the Wireless Edge Services xl Module to log
WLAN activity to a syslog server:
1. Select Network Setup > WLAN Setup > Configuration.
2. Select the WLAN from the list and click the Edit button. The Edit screen
