4. In the screen that displays, specify the RADIUS server that authenticates
wireless users, as shown in Figure 3-23:
a. Enter the RADIUS server’s address in the RADIUS Server Address field
under the Primary column.
b. Leave the port at the default setting (1812) unless you know that your
server uses a different port.
c. In the RADIUS Shared Secret field, enter the secret configured for the
Wireless Edge Services xl Module on your RADIUS server.
The authentication server uses this secret to verify that your module
is authorized to forward authentication requests to it. The secret can
be between 8 and 63 characters. For the greatest security, it should
be at least 22 characters with a mix of numbers, letters, and other
characters.
d. You must specify the primary server. If you so desire, you can specify
a secondary server for redundancy.
