Thinking about to buy a Sophos AP, will RADIUS accounting work?

ClaasLisowski over 7 years ago

I had a look at the Sophos AP15 and 55C and want to replace my AirPort Extreme with one of them.

Before I buy them though I'd like to know if the RADIUS accounting will work with WPA2 Enterprise and one of those Sophos APs?

My expectation is that it will but maybe some of you can tell me more?

Is this issue related > CWIFI-3641 (https://community.sophos.com/products/sophoswireless/f/feature-requests-discussion/76953/radius-accounting-for-wpa2-enterprise-connections?pi2147=3)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

would pay to ask a reseller/partner for exact details.

Interesting that you should dig that up. I checked my APs and they have WPA2 Enterprise as an option. I always thought WPA enterprise entailed radius authentication.

Hi Ian,

thanks for your quick response.

You are right, WPA enterprise is about authentication, but not only -> AAA authentication, authorisation and accounting.

Cheaper AP support WPA enterprise but don't give all information which are required to do the accounting (AFAIK/and experienced)

Hi,

the cheaper none Sophos APs cannot be managed by the Sophos UTM or XG, so there is a tradeoff.
