Configuring the RADIUS Settings
Click VPN on the left side of the browser window, and then click the RADIUS tab.
To configure RADIUS settings, complete the following instructions.
1. Click the RADIUS tab.
2. Define the number of times the SonicWALL attempts to contact the RADIUS server in
the RADIUS Server Retries field. If the RADIUS server does not respond within the
specified number of retries, the VPN connection is dropped. This field can range
between 0 and 30, however 3 RADIUS server retries is recommended.
3. Define the RADIUS Server Timeout in Seconds. The allowable range is 1-60 seconds
with a default value of 5.
RADIUS Servers
Specify the settings of the primary RADIUS server in the RADIUS servers section. An
optional secondary RADIUS server can be defined if a backup RADIUS server exists on the
network.
1. Enter the IP address or domain name of the RADIUS server in the IP Address/name
field.
2. Enter the UDP port number that the RADIUS server listens on. The Steel-Belted
RADIUS server is set, by default, to listen on port 1645.
3. Enter the RADIUS server administrative password or "shared secret" in the Shared
Secret field. The alphanumeric Shared Secret can range from 1 to 30 characters in
length. The Shared Secret is case sensitive.
