Configuring Radius Server Settings
If you selected either WPA2 - EAP or WPA2 - AUTO - EAP in the Wireless Security section, the Radius Server Settings section appears for configuration of a RADIUS server to generate authentication keys. The server has to be configured for this and for communicating with the SonicWall appliance.
To configure Radius Server Settings
-
Click Radius Server Settings. The Radius Server Settings dialog displays. The options displayed on this dialog depend on the type of SonicPoint/SonicWave.
- In the Retries field, enter the number times, from 1 to 10, the firewall attempts to connect before it fails over to the other Radius server.
-
In the Retry Interval field enter the time, from 0 to 60 seconds, to wait between retries. The default number is 0 or no wait between retries.
-
Define the Radius Server Settings as described in the following table:
