Basic Configuration
5.9.10. RADIUS Parameters
In the Text Interface, the RADIUS Parameters menu is accessed via the Network
Configuration menu (/N for IPv4 parameters or /N6 for IPv6 parameters.) In the Web
Browser Interface, both IPv4 and IPv6 parameters are defined via a single RADIUS
Parameters menu, which is accessed via the flyout menus under the Network
Configuration link. The RADIUS Configuration Menus offer the following options:
• Enable: Enables/Disables the RADIUS feature at the Network Port. (Default = Off)
• PrimaryAddressIPv4: Defines the IP address or domain name for your primary
RADIUS server when IPv4 protocol is used. (Default = undefined)
• PrimaryAddressIPv6: Defines the IP address or domain name for your primary
RADIUS server when IPv6 protocol is used. (Default = undefined)
• PrimarySecretWord: Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the primary RADIUS
server. (Default = undefined)
• SecondaryAddressIPv4: Defines the IP address or domain name for your
secondary, fallback RADIUS server when IPv4 protocol is used.
(Default = undefined)
• SecondaryAddressIPv6: Defines the IP address or domain name for your
secondary, fallback RADIUS server when IPv6 protocol is used.
(Default = undefined)
• SecondarySecretWord: Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the secondary
RADIUS server. (Default = undefined)
• FallbackTimer: Determines how long the RPC will continue to attempt to contact
the primary RADIUS Server before falling back to the secondary RADIUS Server.
(Default = 3 Seconds)
• FallbackLocal: Determines whether or not the RPC will fallback to its own
password/username directory when an authentication attempt fails. When enabled,
the RPC will first attempt to authenticate the password by checking the RADIUS
Server; if this fails, the RPC will then attempt to authenticate the password by
checking its own internal username directory. This parameter offers three options:

Off: Fallback Local is disabled (Default.)

On(AllFailures): Fallback Local is enabled, and the unit will fallback to it's
own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server, or when a
password or username does not match the Radius Server.

On(TransportFailure): Fallback Local is enabled, but the unit will only fallback
to it's own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server.
• Retries: Determines how many times the RPC will attempt to contact the RADIUS
server. Note that the retries parameter applies to both the Primary RADIUS Server
and the Secondary RADIUS Server. (Default = 3)
• AuthenticationPort: The Authentication Port number for the RADIUS function.
(Default = 1812)
