To define RACs:

Step 1 In the navigation bar, click Shared Profile Components.

The Shared Profile Components page opens.

Step 2 Click RADIUS Authorization Components.

The RADIUS Authorization Components table appears. Initially, this table does not contain any RACs.

Step 3 Click Add.

The RADIUS Authorization Components Page opens, as shown in Figure 9-16.
