About RADIUS Authentication

RADIUS authentication is for use by Enterprise WPA/WPA2 802.1X and WEP 802.1X SSIDs, MAC authentication, and captive web portals that require user authentication. Extreme Networks devices use the wireless network (SSID) RADIUS server group for RADIUS lookups, unless there is a classification rule directing them to a different group based on location or other parameters. The servers in the group can be external RADIUS servers, Extreme Networks RADIUS servers, Extreme Networks proxy servers, or a combination of these three types.

Note

The WEP protocol is no longer effective for securing wireless networks. For security reasons, WEP configuration is no longer available in the UI. If you require WEP for business continuity purposes, you can enable it via Supplemental CLI.
