on a computer on your network.
Use the following CLI command to configure RADIUS authentication
settings:
set authentication
primary_port <port_number>
primary_secret <string>
primary_server <name_or_ip_address>
secondary_port <port_number>
secondary_secret <string>
secondary_server <name_or_ip_address>
retransmissions <number>
timeout <seconds>
type <nos | radius>
Each of the following steps describes a parameter. An example is shown
after the final step.
1 Set the authentication type. Use the following command:
set authentication type radius
2 Select the primary RADIUS security server: Use the following command:
set authentication primary_server <ip_address>
3 Optional. Select the secondary RADIUS security server. Use the following
command:
If your network has more than one RADIUS server, indicate which one is
considered the secondary server. If for some reason the primary server is
unavailable, the RAS 1500 checks with the secondary server.
