About RADIUS

You can use an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server to authenticate
the subscriber connections and keep track of accounting information.
RADIUS is based on a client-sever model that supports authentication, authorization and accounting.
This system is the client and the server is the external RADIUS server.
RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which the ZyAIR acts as a message relay between the
subscribers and the RADIUS server to establish a connection. When you enable RADIUS
authentication, the ZyAIR uses RADIUS protocol (RFC 2865, 2866) to send subscriber authentication
information to the external RADIUS server.
When you use an external RADIUS server for accounting, you can use either accumulation or time to
finish accounting. See Chapter 7 for information on accumulation and time to finish accounting.
