External RADIUS server

By default the WLC forwards account and access management requests to a RADIUS server. In order for APs to contact the RADIUS server directly, the necessary server information has to be specified here. This ensures that the RADIUS application continues to function even if the WLC is unavailable. However, this means that the RADIUS server requires settings for each and every AP, and the managed APs must be able to access the RADIUS server from their management network. If the RADIUS server is on another IP network, then it is vital that the gateway is set in the IP parameter profile.
