Configure an Extreme Networks A3 Server

You must have existing A3 RADIUS server services.

RADIUS servers offer two types of services:

  • Authentication for user credentials (usually on port 1812)
  • Accounting (logging) (usually on port 1813)

Security on RADIUS servers is handled with simple passwords. One is configured on the server and the other on each of the clients.

This task is part of creating or editing a network policy. Use this task to configure an A3 server in the Configure RADIUS Servers window.

  2. Select an existing policy and then select Edit, or select Add to create a new policy.
  3. On the Wireless tab, select Select and select an existing SSID, or select Add.
  4. Configure a RADIUS server group.

    2. Optional: Type the RADIUS Server Group Description.
  5. Select EXTREME NETWORKS A3.
  6. Select Select and select an existing server, or select Add.
