We currently have 10 schools in our division that each have their own file/DHCP Server with miltiple AP's. We are using the same two SSID's (one for Staff with network resources available and one for Student with internet access only) across all locations so any staff member from any location will be able to connect to the wireless network anywhere within our organization. Currently, we are using WPA/WPA2 PSK (Personal) with a passphrase that has been shared with students or students have been able to get it from their teachers device. Regardless, we are now considering setting up a Radius Server, and I am looking for some basic info to justify selling this to my boss, but I am also in need of some guidance as to how this can be set up and deployed across multiple locations. Will I need to configure an AP to act as a Radius Server at each location (subnet)? or will I hav e to maybe configure multiple AP's to act as Radius Servers at each location if there is a chance of say 300 + connected devices at any time? Where is a good place to start with this project? We currently have just over 100 AeroHive AP's.
Solved! Go to Solution.

My apologies, you're using HiveManager Classic. This guide reviews how to set up Radius on an AP in Classic: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Radius-Server-hosted-on-an-AP

Sorry, I meant your external user database, the Active Directory server we're using to host the usernames and passwords. There should be a log in the Active Directory that would display rejection messages or error messages.

How do I tell if there is any authentication rejection or error messages? Do I need physical access to the AP/Radius Server?

Thank you for letting me know. The configuration looks good so far. Do you have access to the Radius server? If you do, can you tell if any authentication rejection or error messages are showing in the Radius server? Also, would you be able to run a Radius test by going to Tools> Server Access Tests> Radius Test and let me know what the results are?

Thank you for that VHM ID. Which Network Policy should I take a look at?
