Location Awareness (Controller configuration)
Controller Form
In conjunction with the Location Awareness features on the Node/VAP, enabling Location Awareness for the Controller will configure the Controller to accept Radius Location messages sent from the Nodes.
Upon receiving a Radius message containing the AP location (in the NAS-Identifier field) the Controller will attach that Location information to any subsequent Radius messages for the user and it will add the Location information to any web redirects when a Splash Page is configured.
Note that the Location Awareness values must match those setup on the VAP and that the VAP is configured with the Controller Listen IP.
Enabled
Click this checkbox to enable this feature.
Proxy Client
This is the Node IP range from which the Controller will accept Radius messages from.
Proxy Port
This is the port the Controller listens for Radius messages (note: the default for this value is 1645 not the standard 1812 as that is used by the Controller already). This must match the value on the VAP.
Proxy Secret
The Radius Shared Secret as setup on the VAP.
