3. In the Retries field, specify the number of times the module should re-send
a proxy request that times out.
The default number of retries is 3 (which means that the module will send
up to four requests). Valid values are from 3 to 6.
4. Click the OK button to apply the settings, remembering to save your
configuration by clicking the Save link.
Adding RADIUS Clients
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module’s internal RADIUS server typically
authenticates wireless users connecting to its own WLANs. But it can also
authenticate users throughout your network—on both the wireless and the
wired side. Simply add the NASs for those users as RADIUS clients. For
example, you can add a ProCurve Intelligent Edge Switch, or you can add
another Wireless Edge Services xl Module.
To specify a RADIUS client, complete these steps:
1. Select Network Setup > Local RADIUS Server > Configuration.
2. In the lower section of the screen, click the Clients tab.
3. Click the Add button. The ADD screen is displayed.

4. In the IP Address/Mask fields, enter the client device’s IP address, including
the CIDR prefix length for its subnetwork.
If you specify a subnetwork address and prefix length, any device in that
subnetwork can act as a RADIUS client (as long as it sends the correct
password, specified in step 5). For example, you specify 10.4.10.0/24.
NASs with IP addresses 10.4.10.10 and 10.4.10.120 can both contact the
Wireless Edge Services xl Module’s RADIUS server.
