ProSafe Wireless-N VPN Firewall SRXN3205 Reference Manual
The SRXN3205 is acting as a NAS (Network Access Server), allowing network access to
external users after verifying their authentication information. In a RADIUS transaction, the
NAS must provide some NAS Identifier information to the RADIUS Server. Depending on the
configuration of the RADIUS Server, the SRXN3205's IP address may be sufficient as an
identifier, or the server may require a name, which you would enter here. This name would
also be configured on the RADIUS server, although in some cases it should be left blank on
the RADIUS server.
5. Enable a Backup RADIUS Server (if required).
6. Set the Time Out Period, in seconds, that the firewall should wait for a response from the
RADIUS server.
7. Set the Maximum Retry Count. This is the number of tries the firewall will make to the
RADIUS server before giving up.
8. Click Apply to save the settings.
Note: Selection of the Authentication Protocol, usually PAP or CHAP, is configured
on the individual IKE policy screens.
