Inhouse RADIUS Server Configure for Auth

Want to configure the local RADIUS server with a Meraki access point? I have tried but when I add the Radius server in SSID and try to test getting fails but when I try to ping from AP to the Radius server, AP is ping to the Radius server.

Hi @rahul_sonawane , whilst you may have IP reachability between your AP and the Radius server this isn’t enough to get this working.  Have you followed the Meraki Radius Auth Config guide:

I'm not an employee of Cisco/Meraki. My posts are based on Meraki best practice and what has worked for me in the field.

To summarize the most important steps:

Port UDP 1812/1813 (that you have configured on the SSID) have to be allowed all the way to the RADIUS server

The shared secret has to match on the AP and the RADIUS server

 

After that, you should have at least a log entry in your server when users connect. For me, the test function in the SSID config was never reliable. Try to connect a client and look at the server logs.
