5.11.1 RADIUS
RADIUS authentication is a popular protocol used to authenticate users by means of an
external server instead of (or in addition to) an internal device user database that is limited to
the memory capacity of the device. In essence, RADIUS authentication allows you to validate
an unlimited number of users from a central location. In the following graphic, the RADIUS
server (A) authenticates users 1, 2 and 3.
