Chapter 4 Using the Command-Line Interface for Quick Configuration
Configuring RADIUS Authentication Server
External RADIUS servers can return group and user authentication parameters that match those on the
VPN Concentrator; other authentication servers do not. The VPN Concentrator software CD-ROM
includes a trial copy of the CiscoSecure ACS RADIUS authentication server and instructions for using
it with the VPN Concentrator.
To configure an external RADIUS user authentication server, follow these steps to supply the required
server IP address or hostname, server secret, and port number:
You selected the external RADIUS authentication server, and the system prompts you to enter its
Step 1
hostname or IP address.
> RADIUS Server (Name/IP Address)
Quick ->
At the cursor, enter the RADIUS server hostname or IP address; for example, 192.168.56.78. The
maximum length is 32 characters.
The system prompts you to enter the RADIUS server secret, also called the shared secret, that allows
Step 2
access to the server.
> RADIUS Server Secret
Quick -> _
At the cursor, enter the RADIUS server secret; for example, B8y077E. The maximum length is
64 characters. The system displays only asterisks.
The system prompts you to reenter the RADIUS server secret to verify it.
Step 3

At the cursor, reenter the RADIUS server secret. The system displays only asterisks.
Step 4 The system prompts you to enter the UDP port number by which you access the RADIUS server.
> RADIUS Server Port
