  1. In the RADIUS section, select the Enable checkbox to enable RADIUS login authentication, if applicable.

    RADIUS login authentication uses a RADIUS server to authenticate user login attempts. RADIUS is a client/server authentication and authorization access protocol used by a network access server (NAS) to authenticate users attempting to connect to a network device.

    Do the following:

    • Server Alias — Type a name that you want to assign to the RADIUS server. You can type a name or IP address of the server.
    • IP Address — Type the RADIUS server's hostname or IP address.
    • Shared Secret — Type the password that will be used to validate the connection between the controller and the RADIUS server.
  2. In the Mobility section, select the Enable checkbox to enable the controller mobility feature, if applicable. Mobility allows a wireless device user to roam seamlessly between different APs on the same or different controllers.

    A dialog informs you that NTP is required for the mobility feature and prompts you to confirm you want to enable mobility.

    Note

    Note

    If the ExtremeWireless Appliance is configured as a mobility agent, it will act as an NTP client and use the mobility manager as the NTP server. If the appliance is configured as a mobility manager, its local NTP will be enabled for the mobility domain.
  3. Click OK to continue, and then do the following:
    • Role — Select the role for the controller, Manager or Agent. One controller on the network is designated as the mobility manager and all other controllers are designated as mobility agents.
    • Port — Click the interface on the controller to be used for communication between mobility manager and mobility agent. Ensure that the selected interface is routable on the network. For more information, see Configuring Mobility.
    • Manager IP — Type the IP address of the mobility manager port if the controller is configured as the mobility agent.
  4. In the Default VNS section, select the Enable checkbox to enable a default VNS for the controller.
