A company has an HP MSM solution with an MSM Controller and APs.
The company requires a WLAN that enforces WPA2 with 802.1X authentication. The company
has a RADIUS server that will authenticate wireless users. The RADIUS server administrators
would prefer to define just one RADIUS client on the server. Which VSC setting should the MSM
administrator plan for this scenario?
A.
Centralized access control (Use the Controller for Access control option)
B.
Preshared encryption keys for WPA2 encryption (Preshared Key for Key source)
C.
Centralized authentication (Use the Controller for Authentication option)
D.
Local authentication (Local setting for 802.1X authentication)

A
When Access control under General is enabled, RADIUS settings only apply on the controller. If you enable RADIUS support, controlled APs forward authentication requests to the controller which then sends them to the configured RADIUS server.

Answer is C.
You don’t need Access Control enabled for centralized authentication with one Radius user (controller itself). If you enable Access Control, all wireless traffic will be forwarded to the controller, which is not needed in this scenario. Using only “Authentication” option in the VSC settings will be sufficient for the controller to authenticate clients on RADIUS.
