Configuring the External RADIUS
Server
You can store the Valid AP configuration on a local database on the D-Link WLAN Controller
Switch or on an external RADIUS server. This appendix describes the attributes you must
define for each feature to setup their configuration on the RADIUS server.
One important reason why you might define the AP information on the RADIUS server rather
than on the switch is to allow peer switches to obtain the data from a single source rather than
having to define it on each switch.

Configuring RADIUS Settings for Access Points

Since the AP is identified by its physical MAC address, you must add a RADIUS entry for
each AP with the User-Name attribute set to the MAC address.
attributes to configure in the RADIUS server entry for each AP. Add the vendor-specific
attributes by using the D-Link vendor ID (6132) and the identifier D-Link-Wireless-AP-*
(where "*" represents the attribute name).

This appendix does not describe RADIUS configuration for AP network
authentication using 802.1x. This feature is separate from a valid AP
configuration entry. The edge device that connects to the AP performs the
network authentication. The edge device might not be the D-Link WLAN
Controller Switch.

Ethernet Address of the AP.
A fixed password used to
lookup an AP entry.
