We have a similar setup... about the same number of APs and users, more online simultaneously. And, we're enforcing PEAP reauths every 15 minutes. We're running 2 Dell Poweredge 650s, each with a single 2.4GHz P4, 512MB RAM, single 40GB hard drive in failover. The first 650 takes the brunt of the auth traffic, but, since RADIUS and even EAP-TLS is really low overhead, those servers hardly ever see a load average of .1 unless I'm doing something like compiling a new version of the FR code. --Mike ----------------------------------- Michael Griego Wireless LAN Project Manager The University of Texas at Dallas King, Michael wrote:

We're going to be setting up a freeRADIUS server to service around 400 simultaneous connections. (500 AP's, 4000 users, about 400 online at once) Accounting info would be on another different server.(Not part of FreeRADIUS)

What's a good server for this? What's more important? Memory or CPU?

I was thinking a dell poweredge 750, 2.8Ghz, 1Gig of RAM, 73G drive.

Thoughts?
