Configure WiFi Security with WPA2 Enterprise (for Nebula Access Points only)

This tutorial shows you how to configure WPA2 Enterprise for an SSID using any of the following authentication servers:

• Nebula Cloud server

• RADIUS server.

WPA2 Enterprise uses IEEE 802.1X for authentication of many users such as in a large organization.

Configure WPA2 Enterprise with Nebula Cloud Authentication / RADIUS Server Authentication

1 Go to Site-wide > Configure > Access points > SSID advanced settings.

2 Select the SSID to which the settings you configure here will be applied.

3 In Security options, select WPA2 in WPA Enterprise with.

4 To use NCC’s user database, select Nebula cloud authentication in WPA Enterprise with.

If your network has a RADIUS server for authentication, select My RADIUS server in WPA Enterprise with.

If you select My RADIUS server in step 4, enter the RADIUS server’s IP address/domain name in RADIUS server’s Host. Enter the Port number of the RADIUS server; the default is 1812. Enter up to 32 alphanumeric characters for the Secret password, which is the key to be shared between the external RADIUS server and the Nebula Device.

5 Then click Save.

Manage User Accounts

1 Go to Organization-wide > Organization-wide manage > Cloud authentication > User to view and manage the user accounts which are authenticated using the NCC user database or external RADIUS server.

3 The click Save.

4 To check your settings, go to Site-wide > Configure > SSID settings.

For Nebula Cloud authentication, WPA2-Enterprise with Cloud-authentication is the encryption method shown on SSID advanced settings: WLAN security.

For RADIUS Server authentication, WPA2-Enterprise with MyRADIUS is the encryption method shown on SSID advanced settings: WLAN security.
