Before you can perform this task, you must create a network policy with an SSID with
Enterprise (WPA/WPA2 802.1X) access security, and a default RADIUS server group.
Extreme Networks devices can serve as RADIUS authentication servers
and respond to 802.1X requests from other Extreme Networks RADIUS
authenticators. The Extreme Networks RADIUS server can store user
accounts locally or check user login credentials against user accounts stored
externally on Active Directory or LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) user
database servers.
