Figure 5-9 ZyAIR RADIUS Settings Example 5. 9. 2 ZyAIR G-3000 Wireless Authentication Setup Example The following example describes how to configure a wireless AP for use with Vantage RADIUS. To change your ZyAIR's authentication settings, click the WIRELESS link under ADVANCED and then the 802. 1x/WPA tab. Configure your wireless AP to enable authentication through an external authentication server (Vantage RADIUS). If your wireless client uses MD5 authentication, either choose static key exchange, or disable dynamic key exchange. RADIUS Configuration 5-17 Vantage RADIUS Server User's Guide The authentication database contains wireless station login information. Vantage RADIUS is an external authentication server. Use this drop-down list box to select the order the wireless AP checks the databases to authenticate a wireless station. 1. Select Authentication Required so that all wireless stations have to enter usernames and passwords before access to the wired network is allowed. 2. If your AP uses MD5 authentication, then Dynamic WEP Key Exchange must be disabled as MD5 uses static keys. PEAP can use both dynamic and static keys. 3. Select the order of databases your wireless AP checks for a username and password.
