A RadSec Proxy is only required when the network switch or
AP does not support native RadSec. This is specifically applicable to 3rd party devices.
Any Extreme Universal switch or
ExtremeCloud IQ Access Point supports native RadSec
and should be connected in that way as a best
practice.
Follow these recommendations:
