Generally, the access users are named in the userid@isp-nameor userid.isp-nameformat. Here, isp-nameafter the “@” or “.” character represents the ISP domain name, by which the device determines which ISP domain a user belongs to. However, some old RADIUS servers cannot accept the user names that carry ISP domain names. In this case, it is necessary to remove domain names from user names before sending the user names to RADIUS server. For this reason, the user-name-formatcommand is designed for you to specify whether or not ISP domain names are carried in the user names to be sent to RADIUS server.

For a RADIUS scheme, if you have specified to remove ISP domain names from user names, you should not use this RADIUS scheme in more than one ISP domain. Otherwise, such errors may occur: the RADIUS server regards two different users having the same name but belonging to different ISP domains as the same user (because the usernames sent to it are the same).

In the default RADIUS scheme "system", ISP domain names are removed from user names by default.

The purpose of setting the MAC address format of the Calling-Station-Id (Type 31) field in RADIUS packets is to improve the device’s compatibility with different RADIUS servers. This setting is necessary when the format of Calling-Station-Id field recognizable to RADIUS servers is different from the default MAC address format on the device. For details about field formats recognizable to RADIUS servers, refer to the corresponding RADIUS server manual.

Configuring the Local RADIUS Authentication Server Function

The device provides the local RADIUS server function (including authentication and authorization), also known as the local RADIUS authentication server function, in addition to RADIUS client service, where separate authentication/authorization server and the accounting server are used for user authentication.

Follow these steps to configure the local RADIUS authentication server function:
