IP Router - Release 1.8 3-9
Profile Directory: Router Card Profile
Security
Authentication of Remote

Protocol: CHAP, PAP or NONE

Use this field to identify the authentication protocol to be used by this IP Router when authenticating
remote devices.
Local Security Server
The router supports a configuration setting for each router card to determine how the router card
logins are to be authenticated, as per one of the following choices: authenticate router logins
from the router card local database (default), authenticate router logins by having the controller
send a RADIUS access-request message to the controller’s RADIUS servers, or authenticate
router logins identically to controller logins. The last choice will cause the router logins to be
authenticated either via RADIUS or the controller’s database of users and passwords, as
configured for the controller. This configuration is done with Controller CLI only (no menu
support).

Type

Use the [SPACEBAR] to choose the security authentication method that you are using.
<None> Use this setting if the Local unit will be used to authenticate remote devices. Please note
that you may not use the <None> setting if the Security Server field for a remote device has been set
to <External Server>
<RADIUS> Will set the server to use the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In Service)
protocol. RADIUS is a client/server-based authentication software system.
<TACACS+> Will set the server to use the TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access
Control System) protocol. TACACS+ provides services of authentication, authorization
and accounting independently.

Address

Enter the IP Address of the local server that will be used during the authentication pro cess. If <None>
was selected in the <Type> field, this field will be disabled.

Password

Enter the password of the local server that will be used during the authentication process. You must
make sure that the password entered into the server is the same as the value entered here or the
authentication process will fail. If <None> was selected in the <Type> field, this field will be
disabled.
