Configuring Radius - HP MSR SERIES Configuration Manual

Configuring RADIUS

You can configure RADIUS through the Web interface.
Overview
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol is a distributed information interaction
protocol that uses a client/server model to implement AAA. It can protect networks against unauthorized
access and is often used in network environments that require both high security and remote user access.
RADIUS uses UDP port 1812 for authentication and UDP port 1813 for accounting.
RADIUS was originally designed for dial-in user access. With the addition of new access methods,
RADIUS has been extended to support additional access methods, including Ethernet and ADSL.
RADIUS provides access authentication, authorization, and accounting services. The accounting function
collects and records network resource usage information.
For more information about RADIUS and AAA, see HP MSR Router Series Configuration Guides (V5).
Configuring a RADIUS scheme
A RADIUS scheme defines a set of parameters that the device uses to exchange information with the
RADIUS servers. There might be authentication servers and accounting servers, or primary servers and
secondary servers. The parameters mainly include the IP addresses of the servers, the shared keys, and
the RADIUS server type. By default, no RADIUS scheme exists.
To configure a RADIUS scheme:
1. Select Advanced > RADIUS from the navigation tree.
