Part of the IPX1 configuration states:  "Ensure that users won't be able to use 
RADIUS for authentication"

The DSG shows this is accomplished by simply not selecting RADIUS servers under 
the AAA policy within the IPX1 WLAN.

Just wanted to point out that this is not actually a valid method of ensuring 
RADIUS is not used on Cisco's controllers.

Something that has been frustrating to me about WLCs for quite some time - even 
if no RADIUS servers are selected within a particular WLAN - the controller 
will still attempt to authenticate to a RADIUS server from the authentication 
servers listed under the security tab.

The only way to actually prevent this is by removing every single RADIUS server 
from the controller thereby disabling RADIUS authentication entirely.

I do not believe this has been fixed even in the latest versions of code 
(though I have not tested on 7.x and later).
