Configuring RADIUS Settings

Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers provide additional security for
networks. The RADIUS server maintains a user database, which contains per-user authentication
information. RADIUS servers provide a centralized authentication method for:
• Telnet Access
• Web Access
• Console to Switch Access
The RADIUS Settings page contains both user-defined and the default RADIUS settings.
To open the RADIUS Settings page, click System Management→ Security→ RADIUS in the tree
view.

authentication.
