MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

• Allows RADIUS accounting data to be sent to an external RADIUS server. (The internal RADIUS
server does not provide support for accounting.)
• Local user accounts and account profiles have been designed to match the same functionality
and support as can be provided by an external RADIUS server. Most of the AVPairs supported
on an external RADIUS server are also supported by the integrated RADIUS server.
Server configuration
Configuration of the integrated RADIUS server is done using the Controller >> Authentication >
RADIUS server page. In most cases, the default settings on this page will not need to be changed.
Configuration parameters
RADIUS server
Detect SSID from NAS-Id
Enable this option when working with third-party APs to permit the controller to retrieve the
SSID assigned to the AP, and therefore assign user traffic to the appropriate VSC. For this to
work, the AP must be configured to send its SSID as the NAS ID in all authentication and
accounting requests. See “Working with third-party autonomous APs” (page 536).
Number of accounting sessions
Specify the maximum number of sessions for which the controller will track accounting
information.
Maximum accounting sessions
Specify the maximum number of accounting sessions that the controller supports.
