RADIUS Server
Use the RADIUS Server subtab to provision the node for RADIUS authentication.
 
Item
Description
Enable RADIUS Authentication
When checked, Enable RADIUS Authentication activates remote server authentication for the node.
Enable RADIUS Accounting
When checked, Enable RADIUS Accounting shows RADIUS authentication information in the RADIUS server.
Enable node as the Final Authenticator when no RADIUS Server is reachable
When checked, uses the node itself as the final authenticator. This means that if every RADIUS authenticator is unavailable, the node will authenticate the login itself rather than locking the user out.
RADIUS Servers in Order of Authentication
Displays the following:
 •
Node Address: The RADIUS server’s IP address.
 •
Shared Secret: A shared secret is a text string that serves as a password between a RADIUS client and RADIUS server.
 •
Authentication Port: The RADIUS authentication port number. The default port is 1812. If the node is an ENE, set the authentication port to a number within the range of 1860 and 1869.
 •
Accounting Port: The RADIUS accounting port. The default port is 1813. If the node is an ENE, set the accounting port to a number within the range of 1870 and 1879.
