Radius M&C Using The Cdm-570A/570Al Http (Web Server) Interface - Comtech EF Data CDM-570A Installation And Operation Manual

Configuration of RADIUS features is possible only through the HTTP (Web Server) Interface
Admin | Access page, or by issuance of remote commands via Telnet. No configuration of
RADIUS is available from the CDM-570A/570AL front panel or through serial-based remote
commands, SNMP, or the Telnet CLI.
The modem is configurable with primary and secondary RADIUS server addresses. In the event
that the primary server is unavailable, the secondary server will be used to validate the user
name and password.
Read/write and read-only user credentials are managed via the RADIUS Client Server – the
RADIUS Client Server cannot grant Admin level access. The modem locally stores one Admin-
level user name and password. If the RADIUS client is disabled or the modem cannot access the
primary and the secondary server, any user trying to access the modem will be authenticated with
the locally stored username and password, which provides full Admin access.
•
All user credentials are verified by the RADIUS server, when the client has
connectivity to either the primary or secondary RADIUS servers.
•
In the absence of primary or secondary RADIUS server connectivity, or when
RADIUS is disabled, the locally stored Admin credentials are used for modem
access.
