15.3.5 Configuring the RADIUS Vendor ID

The vendor-specific attribute (VSA) identifies the device to the RADIUS server using the
Vendor ID (as registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority or IANA). The
device's default vendor ID is 5003 which can be changed, as described in the following
procedure. For an example of using the Vendor ID, see ''Setting Up a Third-Party RADIUS
Server'' on page 245. The procedure is applicable to both RADIUS-based user
authentication and RADIUS-based accounting.
Note: The Vendor ID must be the same as the Vendor ID set on the third-party
RADIUS server. See the example for setting up a third-party RADIUS server in
''Setting Up a Third-Party RADIUS Server'' on page 245.

To configure the RADIUS Vendor ID:
1. Open the Authentication Server page (Setup menu > Administration tab > Web &
CLI folder > Authentication Server).
2. Under the RADIUS group, in the 'RADIUS VSA Vendor ID' field, enter the same
vendor ID number as set on the third-party RADIUS server.
3. Click Apply.

15.3.6 RADIUS-based Management User Authentication

You can enhance security for your device by implementing Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service (RADIUS - RFC 2865) for authenticating multiple management user accounts
of the device's embedded Web and Telnet (CLI) servers. Thus, RADIUS also prevents
unauthorized access to your device.
When RADIUS authentication is not used, the user's login username and password are
locally authenticated by the device using the Local Users table (see ''Configuring
Management User Accounts'' on page 73). However, you can configure the device to use
the Local Users table as a fallback mechanism if the RADIUS server does not respond.
