Multi-RADIUS
Authentication
Granular security
policy enforcement
Multi-RADIUS Authentication provides enterprise-class redundancy by enabling organizations to
deploy multiple RADIUS servers in active/passive mode for high availability. Should the primary
RADIUS server fail, the managing Dell SonicWALL firewall discovers the failure and switches
to the secondary server, ensuring wireless devices can continue to authenticate. Further,
multi-RADIUS authentication can be supported on each virtual access point and configured for
WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise or WPA2-Auto-Enterprise mode.
Network administrators can implement and enforce firewall rules on all wireless trac and
control all wireless client communications to any host on the network — wired or wireless.

Green access points
SonicPoints are automatically detected, provisioned and updated by the wireless controller
in the managing Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive, NSA or TZ Series firewall. WLAN administration
is also handled directly from the managing firewall, simplifying setup and centralizing
ongoing management.
SonicPoints are plenum rated for safe installation in air-handling spaces such as in or above
suspended ceilings.
SonicPoints are powered from a Dell SonicWALL IEEE 802.11at Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Injector or third-party device for easy deployment where electrical outlets are not readily
accessible. The SonicPoint ACe can also be powered directly through an AC adapter.
With dimmable LEDs (excluding power), SonicPoints fit perfectly into environments that need
discreet wireless coverage.
SonicPoints support a wide range of wireless standards and security protocols, including
802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, WPA2 and WPA. This allows organizations to leverage prior investments in
devices that are incapable of supporting higher encryption standards while easing migration
to 802.11ac.
Features such as simplified deployment, single pane of glass management for both wireless
and security, and no need to purchase a separate wireless controller drastically reduce an
organization’s cost to add wireless into a new or existing network infrastructure.
SonicPoints reduce costs by supporting green access points, which enables both radios to enter
sleep mode for power saving when no clients are actively connected. The SonicPoint will exit
sleep mode once a client attempts to associate with it.
