Connecting to
RADIUS Servers and
Server Groups
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client-server
security protocol that provides authentication, authorization, and
accounting for network users and devices. A RADIUS server stores user
profiles, which include usernames, passwords, and other user attributes.
After you have defined RADIUS servers, you define RADIUS server groups
(named sets of RADIUS servers). You must create at least one server
group.
RADIUS server groups can authenticate administrators and network
users. You can specify up to four RADIUS server groups for AAA services
in a 3Com Mobility System.
