Configure RADIUS Server for WiZone Authentication

Step 10 – Configure RADIUS Server for WiZone Authentication

This step connects your Mikrotik router to the WiZone RADIUS Server, allowing centralized authentication, accounting, and real-time control (CoA – Change of Authorization).

10.1 Add RADIUS Server

1. Go to RADIUS → Add (+)
2. Configure the following settings:

1. Go to RADIUS → Incoming
2. Check Accept
3. Set Port to 3799 (default CoA port)
4. Click Apply → OK

10.3 Configure Firewall Rule for CoA Port

To allow RADIUS CoA packets to reach the router, add a firewall rule to accept UDP traffic on port 3799.

1. Navigate to IP → Firewall → Filter Rules → Add (+)
2. Set the following parameters:

3. Click Apply → OK
4. Move the rule to the top of the list to ensure priority handling.
