Question about Radius

is.service.desk

Level 1

Hello,

This may be a dumb question, but I'm wondering if it is possible to authenticate wireless clients through an IPSec VPN tunnel to a radius server located in my data center?  I'm using a RV120W router, and i'd like to install it at a branch office, but use my radius server at head office to authenticate wireless clients...

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Chris

Chris,

No questions are dump, but yeah it should work, everything is done via IP so as long routing is correct it should work.

Bump!

So I did some further experimenting and I can't seem to get this to work... although after doing much research on here and other forums it appears to be a common problem - for some reason the radius traffic originates only on the WAN interface of the router... and never makes it to the internal Radius server.    Apparently in IOS there is a way to configure the source interface for radius traffic, but I don't see anyway to do this with the RV120W.   This is kind of silly, because it doesn't make sense for the radius traffic to go out onto the WAN - it should really either be on the LAN interfaces or over the VPN tunnel (for obvious security reasons).  Common Cisco! this should be a simple fix!!
