In this section, configure a database location for storing administrator accounts,
set the PPSK (Private PSK) save list, and the MAC address format.
-
Specify the administrator
accounts database that stores log-in credentials.
You can store administrator accounts locally on APs, remotely on RADIUS
authentication servers, or in both places. If you select
BOTH, the device authenticates administrators by
first checking accounts on the external RADIUS servers specified in the RADIUS
profile, and then checking accounts stored on its local database.
Note
If all
the AP admin accounts are on a RADIUS server and the device cannot connect
to it, the administrators will not be able to log into the
device.
-
Set the length of time that a device acting as a private PSK server
automatically saves its list of private PSK-to-client MAC address bindings to
flash memory.
-
To accommodate MAC Address format requirements, specify the types of delimiters
between groups of digits, the number of groups to use, and whether to use lower
case or upper case.
How you set these parameters
controls how MAC authentication for local users on an Extreme Networks RADIUS
server is affected. For example, if you set case sensitivity as lower case and
store local users with upper case MAC addresses for their user names and
passwords, MAC authentication checks fail.
-
Select SAVE.
Save the Management Option, Add Management Options.
