Figure18-21 Create RADIUS Server Entry Window
Step3 Enter the RADIUS server IP address in the node Address field. If the node is an end network element
(ENE), enter the IP address of the gateway network element (GNE) in this field.
The GNE passes authentication requests from the ENEs in its network to the RADIUS server, which
grants authentication if the GNE is listed as a client on the server.
Caution Because the ENE nodes use the GNE to pass authentication requests to the RADIUS server, you must
add the ENEs to the RADIUS server individually for authentication. If you do not add the ENE node to
a RADIUS server prior to activating RADIUS authentication, no user will be able to access the node.
Refer to the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server for more information about adding a
node to a RADIUS server.
