Assign a specific IP address for this user
Select this option if you would like to have a specific IP address assigned to this user. Enter the
IP address. This IP address will be used each time the client logs in and will override the Assign
Remote Site an IP Address option as shown in the IP Router Setting dialog box. Click Add to
add this client to the Local Client List.
Use Radius Authentication
Choosing RADIUS Authentication allows you to use the user information (such as user name,
password, IP address) stored on a separate RADIUS server on the network.
Note: A RADIUS Server (Remote Authentication Dial-In Service) is an accounting and
authentication system used by many large companies and Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
After a client dials in to the network and enters their username and password, the information is
passed to a RADIUS server. The RADIUS server checks that the information is correct, and then
allows access to the system.
1. From the Remote Access Settings dialog box, click Use RADIUS Authentication, then click
RADIUS Setup.
2. The RADIUS Configuration dialog box displays.
3. Use the List box to select the Main or Backup RADIUS Server from which the device will be
authenticated.
4. Enter the RADIUS Access Server IP Address and the RADIUS Accounting Server IP Address
Note: In most cases, the RADIUS Accounting Server and the Access server are the same
device. If this is true for your configuration, enter the same IP address in both boxes.
