Configuration of a RADIUS server

Inthis section it is assumed that you know how to configure your RADIUS server. Consult your RADIUS manual
fordetails.
Addthe Telecommuting Module as a client in the RADIUS server. Make sure that the shared secret here is the same
asin the Telecommuting Module.
TheTelecommuting Module checks the permissions for a user by looking at its RADIUS attribute Service-Type. If
theService-Type has the value Administrative (6), the user is allowed to configure the Telecommuting Module.
Forthe various privileges for users, there is an 3Com-specific RADIUS attribute defined thus:
VENDOR3Com 43
ATTRIBUTE3Com-Admin-Account 1 integer 3Com
#
# Type of administrator account.
#
VALUE 3Com-Admin-Account Full-Access-Admin 1
VALUE 3Com-Admin-AccountBackup-Admin 2
VALUE 3Com-Admin-AccountRead-Only-Admin 3
VALUE 3Com-Admin-AccountVPN-Admin 4
VALUE 3Com-Admin-AccountSIP-Admin 5
Moreinformation about RADIUS can be found in RFC 2865.
SNMP
SNMPis a network monitoring protocol, which enables a single server to monitor one or more networks, including
allnetwork equipment like routers and firewalls. 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module supports SNMP and can
accordinglybe monitored automatically.
Themonitoring signaling consists of two main parts. The SNMP server sends requests to the Telecommuting
Module,which replies with a list of network parameters and their values for the Telecommuting Module. The
TelecommutingModule can also send messages (traps) without the server prompting, when someone sends a
requestwithout valid authentication and when the Telecommuting Module boots.
The3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module can only send parameters to the server; no changes of configuration can
bemade through SNMP requests.
Formore information about SNMP, read RFC 1157.
General
Here,decide whether the SNMP signaling should be activated. You can also enter contact information for the
TelecommutingModule.
