Chapter 4 Configuring Cisco Access Registrar 4.2

Configuring a Basic Site

To configure Cisco AR to use ports other than the default ports, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Change directory to /Radius/Advanced/Ports.

cd /Radius/Advanced/Ports

[ //localhost/Radius/Advanced/Ports ]

<no ports specified, will be using the well-known ports, 1645, 1646>

Step 2 Use the add command (twice) to add ports in pairs. (The ls is entered to show the results of the add command.)

add 1812

add 1813

ls

[ //localhost/Radius/Advanced/Ports ]

Entries 1 to 2 from 2 total entries

Current filter: <all>

1812/

1813/

Note After modifying Access Registrar’s default ports setting, to continue using ports 1645 and 1646, you must add them to the list of ports in /Radius/Advanced/Ports.

Step 3 Enter the save and reload commands to affect, validate, and save your modifications to the CAR server configuration.

save

Validating //localhost...

Saving //localhost...

reload

Reloading Server 'Radius'...

Server 'Radius' is Running, its health is 10 out of 10

Displaying the UserLists

The first subobject in the RADIUS hierarchy that you can configure is the Userlists. The UserLists object contains all of the individual UserLists, which in turn contain the specific users.

When Cisco AR receives an Access-Request, it directs it to an authentication and/or authorization Service. If the Service has its type set to local, the Service looks up the user’s entry in the specific UserList, and authenticates and/or authorizes the user.
