RADIUS Client Configuration
35
1. RADIUS Client Mode:
Options: RADIUS then Local, Local then RADIUS, or None
RADIUS then Local says that when a user tries to log in, the username and password is passed
to the configured Primary RADIUS Server first for authentication. If there is no connectivity to the
Primary RADIUS Server, the RADIUS Client attempts to authenticate the login request on the
Secondary RADIUS Server. If there is no connectivity to the Secondary RADIUS Server, the
9145E10G can then use the local database.
Local then RADIUS says that when a user tries to log in, the local user accounts database is
consulted to try to authenticate the user. If the user cannot be authenticated by the local accounts
database, then the RADIUS Server is consulted to authenticate the user.
None says that the RADIUS server is never used and all user access is authenticated by the local
user accounts database.
2. RADIUS Server IP Address: The IP address of the RADIUS server. If 0.0.0.0 then this
server configuration will not be used.
RADIUS Server Shared Secret: 16 character secret that is shared by the RADIUS server and the
RADIUS client to encrypt sensitive RADIUS traffic on the wire. The value entered here must match
what is configured into the RADIUS server.
RADIUS Server Retries: The number of attempts to authenticate a user using this RADIUS
server before giving up or using the alternate RADIUS server if configured. 0 - 10
RADIUS Server Timeout: The time in seconds before assuming that the RADIUS server did not
reply and retrying a request if so configured. 1 - 30
RADIUS Server Priority: The RADIUS server priority in relation to the alternate RADIUS server if
configured. The server with the lower priority will be consulted first to authenticate a user. Servers
with the same priority operate in a round-robin fashion alternating requests to each server. 1 - 255
