DESCRIPTION
Use this section to configure your RADIUS authentication settings.
This field is only valid if you configure multiple RADIUS servers.
Select index-priority and the system tries to authenticate with the first configured
RADIUS server, if the RADIUS server does not respond then the system tries to
authenticate with the second RADIUS server.
Select round-robin to alternate between the RADIUS servers that it sends
authentication requests to.
Specify the amount of time in seconds that the system waits for an authentication
request response from the RADIUS server.
If you are using index-priority for your authentication and you are using two
RADIUS servers then the timeout value is divided between the two RADIUS
servers. For example, if you set the timeout value to 30 seconds, then the system
waits for a response from the first RADIUS server for 15 seconds and then tries the
second RADIUS server.
This is a read-only number representing a RADIUS server entry.
Enter the IP address of an external RADIUS server in dotted decimal notation.
The default port of a RADIUS server for authentication is 1812. You need not
change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
Specify a password (up to 32 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared
between the external RADIUS server and the MSC. This key is not sent over the
network. This key must be the same on the external RADIUS server and the MSC.
Check this box if you want to remove an existing RADIUS server entry from the
MSC. This entry is deleted when you click Apply.
Use this section to configure your RADIUS accounting server settings.
Specify the amount of time in seconds that the system waits for an accounting
request response from the RADIUS accounting server.
This is a read-only number representing a RADIUS accounting server entry.
