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 VMR/NPS 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 VMR/NPS will fallback to its
own password/username directory when an authentication attempt fails. When
enabled, the VMR/NPS will first attempt to authenticate the password by checking
the RADIUS Server; if this fails, the VMR/NPS 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 VMR/NPS 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)
