Describe the role of a WAP in a wireless network using a RADIUS server for authentication.

What will be an ideal response?


The wireless client computer (supplicant) requests permission to access the network by contacting the WAP, which has the role of a Network Access Server (NAS). As an NAS, the WAP contacts the RADIUS server to see if the supplicant is in the security dataset, and if the user name and password are correct. After the RADIUS server confirms this, the remote user gets access to the network.
