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 zl Module’s internal RADIUS server typically authen-
ticates 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 zl 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 zl Module’s RADIUS server.
