MR70 in Repeater Mode

[Carmicklec]

Does an MR70 WAP need a RADIUS entry and a DHCP reservation in repeater mode? It will never be directly connected to the domain. Now that I have it installed and functional it doesn't seem to need either of these like the ones that are directly connected.

The answer is the same whether it is a repeater or normal mode.

If your SSID requires RADIUS, it will still require RADIUS.

Repeaters don't have IP addresses. The RADIUS request from a repeater would show as the gateway it's connected to from a RADIUS NAS/logging perspective. I believe that's what you're asking?

[Carmicklec]

This is what I was thinking. To clarify the repeater does not need an entry in the RADIUS? It simply passes the data to the gateway and uses the gateways RADIUS entry to connect the device?

Correct. It's also mentioned here https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Encryption_and_Authentication/Configuring_RADIUS_Authentication_....
