   1. In the RADIUS Attribute Groups page, select the RADIUS Attribute Groups tab and click Add Group.
      The Add RADIUS Attribute Group page is displayed.

      

   2. In the Add RADIUS Attributes Group page, complete the following:

        Note: Foundry, Ruckus, and Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISPr) attributes are vendor-specific. Interpretation and usage of these attributes depend on the specific hardware implementation (Access Points, Switches) rather than the RADIUS server. Refer to the documentation of your network hardware (APs, Switches) for detailed instructions on how to configure and utilize these attributes.
      • The Condition Value comprises two fields, an action and a value. For the action field, select from Add (Multiple), Add or Replace (Single), or Add if it Doesn't Exist and then enter a valid number in the second field.
   4. Click Apply.
      The newly created RADIUS Attribute Group is displayed in the table and is available for selection when creating or editing an Adaptive Policy.
7. (Optional) Complete the following steps to create the Adaptive Policy Set.

   You can curate multiple Adaptive Policies into a single Adaptive Policy Set, creating a superset of authentication rules. The credentials of the connecting device will be verified against the complete set of authentication rules. If the device matches all of the rules, it will be connected.

   1. Select the Adaptive Policy Sets tab and click Add Sets.
      The Add Adaptive Policy Set page is displayed.

      

   2. Enter the name for the Adaptive Policy Set.
   3. Complete the following steps to select the access policies:

      

      1. Click Select Policies. The Select Access Policies dialog box is displayed.
      2. Use the toggle to select the desired policies. Click Add Policy to create a new policy.
      3. Click Add.

         The list of selected policies appears in the Add Adaptive Policy Set table. When multiple policy sets exist, you can reorder them using the = icon to control the order in which the authentication policies are applied.

      4. Click Apply.

         The Adaptive Policy Set is added and appears in the Adaptive Policy Sets table.
