For this basic site, you do not need to change these UserGroups. You can, however, use the add or delete commands to add or delete groups.

Configuring Clients

The Clients object contains all NAS and proxies that communicate directly with Cisco AR. Each client must have an entry in the Clients list, because each NAS and proxy share a secret with the RADIUS server, which is used to encrypt passwords and to sign responses.

Note If you are just testing Cisco AR with the radclient command, the only client you need is localhost. The localhost client is available in the sample configuration. For more information about using the radclient command, see the “Using radclient” section on page 4-12.

Adding a NAS

You must configure your specific NAS from both ends of the connection. That is, you must configure Cisco AR for your NAS, and you must configure your NAS for Cisco AR.

Step 1 Use the cd command to change to the Clients level:

cd /Radius/Clients

Step 2 Use the add command to add the NAS: QuickExampleNAS:

add QuickExampleNAS

Step 3 Use the cd command to change directory to the QuickExampleNAS directory:

cd /Radius/Clients/QuickExampleNAS

Step 4 Use the set command to specify the description WestOffice, the IP address 196.168.1.92, the shared secret of xyz, the Type as NAS.

set Description WestOffice set IPAddress 209.165.200.225 set SharedSecret xyz

set Type NAS set Vendor USR
