OVERVIEW
This chapter provides information on configuring the CyberSWITCH so that it will be able to
communicate with an off-node server. This communication may be for Authentication or
Accounting purposes. The off-node servers supported are:
• Connection Services Manager (CSM)
•RADIUS
• TACACS
•ACE
CSM, RADIUS Authentication, TACACS and ACE are all authentication servers; RADIUS
Accounting is the accounting server. Please refer to your specific off-node server documentation for
information on each server’s individual requirements.
This chapter also provides off-node configuration information for:
• Multiple administration login names
• RADIUS Accounting
• RFC2138 RADIUS
• Dynamic Device options
MULTIPLE ADMINISTRATION LOGIN NAMES
When configuring the off-node server itself, you may configure up to 101 different names for system
administration login. You may assign administration capabilities to specific personnel with different
passwords, passcodes, and/ or SecureID cards. By using this feature, you can track who logged in
to what system via the security server log.
When configuring your off-node server, identify each device and/or user with one of the following
access levels:
• guest: limited access
• admin: administrative-level access when only one administrator necessary
• admin00 through admin99: administrative-level access for multiple users
An example of a properly configured ACE server may resemble the following:
User
Client
name: John Doe name: mynode1
address: Remote Office1 address: 1.1.1.1
