7. Click Submit to apply your changes to the running configuration.
The following example shows how to configure the local database by using the CLI:
1. Log on to the switch and enter Wireless Config Mode.
(switch-prompt) >enable
Password:
(switch-prompt) #config
(switch-prompt) (Config)#wireless
2. Set the local database as the validation method.
(switch-prompt) (Config-wireless)#ap validation local
3. Enter the MAC address of the AP to add to the database and configure a password:
(switch-prompt) (Config-wireless)#ap database 00:02:BC:00:14:40
4. If you require AP-to-switch authentication, enter the pass phrase for the AP
(switch-prompt) (Config-ap)#password
Enter password (8 - 63 characters):******************
Re-enter password:******************
For information about configuring additional database parameters for an AP by using the CLI,
see the D-Link CLI Command Reference.

Using the RADIUS Database for AP Validation

To use a RADIUS server to validate the AP, you must configure settings on both the WCS and
the RADIUS server. From the switch, set the AP Validation to RADIUS and configure
information about the RADIUS server, such as its IP address. From the RADIUS server,
configure information about the Valid APs, including the pass phrase for AP authentication.
For information about the parameters to configure on the RADIUS server, see Appendix B,
"Configuring the External RADIUS Server"
When you enable RADIUS as the validation method, the local Valid AP database is not used.
The Valid AP database is only used for local authentication and validation.
To use a RADIUS server for the Valid AP database, use the following procedures:
1. From the Administration > Basic Setup > Global page, set AP Validation to RADIUS.
2. Click Submit to apply the changes.
3. From the LAN menu, click Security > RADIUS > Authentic Radius Configuration.
The RADIUS settings in the AAA/RADIUS tab in the Wireless Global Configuration
Basic Setup are applied to access points that use the default AP Profile - and not to the
switch. If you require a RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients before they can
associate with an AP, you configure the settings in the AAA/RADIUS tab as described in
"Configuring AAA and RADIUS Settings"
