Radius Server

The parameters for the RADIUS server are configured in this menu. The RADIUS server can be used for authenticating a PPP peer (if defined under SECURITY/AUTHENTICATION) and for Telnet server ses- sions.

PRIMARY SERVER

SECONDARY SERVER

UDP PORT

SECRET

RETRY COUNT (1-10)

This is the IP address of the first RADIUS server that the Total Access 600R should attempt to communicate with when authenticating a PPP peer. Default is 0.0.0.0.

This is the IP address of the back-up RADIUS server that the 600R should attempt to communicate with when the primary server does not respond. Default is 0.0.0.0.

This is the UDP port that the 600R should use when communicating with the RADIUS server. The default is 1645, which is the commonly used port.

The RADIUS server and 600R share this text string. It is used by the RADIUS sever to authenticate the 600R, the RADIUS client. The factory default is not to use a secret.

This is the number of times the 600R should send a request packet to the RADIUS server without a response before giving up. If the number of attempts to communicate with the primary server is equal to the retry count, the secondary server (if defined) is tried. If the secondary server does not respond within the retry count, the PPP peer (or Telnet session) is not authenticated and is dropped. The default is 5.

PPP

The PPP peer can be authenticated using three standard methods: PAP (Password Authentication Proto- col), CHAP (Challenge Handshake Protocol) and EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). The strength of the authentication is determined in the order EAP, CHAP, followed by PAP, where EAP is the strongest and PAP is the weakest. PAP is a clear-text protocol, which means it is sent over the PPP link in a readable format. Care must be taken not to allow highly sensitive passwords to become com- promised using this method. CHAP and EAP use a one-way hashing algorithm which makes it virtually impossible to determine the password. EAP has other capabilities which allow more flexibility than CHAP. The following selections are possible:

PAP, CHAP, OR EAP

CHAP OR EAP (DEF)

EAP

The 600R will ask for EAP during the first PPP LCP negotiation and allow the PPP peer to negotiate down to CHAP or PAP.

The 600R will ask for EAP during the first PPP LCP negotiation and allow the PPP peer to negotiate down to CHAP but not PAP.

The 600R will only allow EAP to be negotiated. If the PPP peer is not capable of doing EAP, then the connection will not succeed.
