Configuring the Device as a RADIUS Client
The RADIUS Servers feature allows the user to define the authentication
and accounting servers the network devices should use when
authenticating users for device or network access.
Figure 325 Radius Servers Panel
The RADIUS servers parameters will only be applied as part of the
configuration template if the associated checkboxes are checked.
However, settings for the authentication server, accounting server and
timeout parameters can be applied independently of one another if
desired.
If either the authentication server or accounting server are to be
configured, then information must be provided for both a primary and a
backup server. For each server the following must be specified: IP address,
the port on which the RADIUS service is available and the shared secret
for the RADIUS service. For the accounting server the action that should
be taken if the service is unavailable must also be specified: either reject
the authentication or ignore the accounting failure.
