RADIUS Server
RADIUS Authentication
Depending on your environment, you might also need to complete these tasks:
Specify proxy RADIUS servers to which the local RADIUS server
forwards queries—This step allows the Wireless Edge Services xl Mod-
ule to relay authentication requests in certain domains to external servers.
Specify RADIUS clients, which query the local RADIUS server
This step allows the module to authenticate users who connect to differ-
ent NASs—in both the wired and wireless network.
Whenever you make a change to the RADIUS settings, the Web browser
interface will ask you to restart the RADIUS server. (See Figure 11-1).

Choosing the Authentication Type for 802.1X/EAP
For 802.1X authentication, you must select the EAP method with which the
RADIUS server authenticates users. Users’ wireless client utilities must be
configured for the same EAP method. Table 11-2 lists the available options,
including the requirements for each. Refer to this table when you add the user’s
account.
