Authentication Servers
RADIUS Server Configuration
To add a new RADIUS server entry:
1. The values to the following parameters are required. A good habit would
be to collect this information for every RADIUS server that needs to be
configured prior to configuration. Individual values can be re-configured and
applied in case of errors and changes at any time.
2 Navigate to
Configuration > AAA Servers > RADIUS page.
3 Configure the RADIUS settings.
