Configure WLC 5520 as Radius Server

ryosaeba86 — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 17:42:22 GMT

HI all,

I have to configure the WLC 5520 (IOS 8.5.x) as Radius Server for wifi client.

all the guides read refer to an external radius but I want to use the same wlc as radius, is it possible?

can someone tell me the process?

Thanks a lot.

regards

If it is a small scale deployment, you can use Local EAP configuration on WLC to act is as local radius server. Refer below document "Local EAP" section.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/8-5/config-guide/b_cg85/wlan_security.html

But that does not mean WLC can act as full fledge RADIUS server (like Free RADIUS, Microsoft NPS, Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass)
