> RADIUS Client
The RADIUS client menu must be used when the a modem's usage is setup for RAS or Modem Sharing with
RADIUS Authentication.
The Radius Client is responsible for making authentication requests to the Radius server and then acting upon
the response from the Radius server. The Radius Client screen allows you to select which Digital Line
Interface and ports are to be used. This screen also defines the dynamic IP address pool and related
parameters synomomous with traditional PPP remote access environments.
The RADIUS protocol (RFCs 2138 & 2139) implements a client\server relationship. RADIUS software
Note:
uses UDP (of TCP/IP) to communicate between client and server. The MultiAccess contains both RADIUS
Client and RADIUS Server software. These are separate entities within the System. The RADIUS client in the
MultiAccess can be a client to an external RADIUS server (already running on your network). This means you
do NOT have to enable and use the internal RADIUS server. However, the MultiAccess RADIUS Client can be
a client to both internal and external servers.
