Integrating a RADIUS Accounting Server
Optionally, you can configure RADIUS server accounting on AMP Setup > RADIUS Accounting. This
capability is not required for basic AirWave operation, but can increase the user-friendliness of AirWave
administration in large networks. Figure 25 illustrates the settings of this optional configuration interface.
Perform the following steps and configurations to enable AirWave to receive accounting records from a separate
RADIUS server. Figure 25 illustrates the display of RADIUS accounting clients already configured, and Figure 26
illustrates the Add RADIUS Accounting Client page.
Table 25 AMP Setup > Authentication Fields and Default Values
Field Default Description
Primary Server Hostname/
IP Address
N/A Enter the IP address or the hostname of the primary RADIUS server.
Primary Server Port 1812 Enter the TCP port for the primary RADIUS server.
Primary Server Secret N/A Specify and confirm the primary shared secret for the primary RADIUS server.
Secondary Server
Hostname/IP Address
N/A Enter the IP address or the hostname of the secondary RADIUS server.
Secondary Server Port 1812 Enter the TCP port for the secondary RADIUS server.
Secondary Server Secret N/A Enter the shared secret for the secondary RADIUS server.
NOTE: AirWave checks the local username and password before checking with the RADIUS server. If the user is found locally, the
local password and role apply. When using RADIUS, it’s not necessary or recommended to define users on the AirWave server.
The only recommended user is the backup admin, in case the RADIUS server goes down.
