RADIUS authentication

Perform the following procedure to configure the RADIUS authentication method to be used whenever the Console Server or
any of its serial ports or hosts is accessed:
• Select Serial and Network: Authentication and check RADIUS or LocalRADIUS or RADIUSLocal or
RADIUSDownLocal
• Enter the Server Address (IP or host name) of the remote Authentication/ Authorization server. Multiple remote servers
may be specified in a comma-separated list. Each server is tried in succession
• In addition to multiple remote servers, you can also enter for separate lists of Authentication/Authorization servers and
Accounting servers. If no Accounting servers are specified, the Authentication/Authorization servers are used instead
• Enter the Server Password
• Click Apply. RADIUS remote authentication will now be used for all user access to Console Server and serially or network
attached devices
RADIUS The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol was developed by Livingston Enterprises as
an access server authentication and accounting protocol. The RADIUS server can support a variety of methods to
authenticate a user. When it is provided with the username and original password given by the user, it can support
PPP , PAP or CHAP , UNIX login, and other authentication mechanisms. Further information on configuring remote
RADIUS servers can be found at the following sites:
