DI-308 ISDN Remote Router

RADIUS Configuration

RADIUS is an authentication protocol where passwords are stored on a RADIUS server. RADIUS allows large numbers of passwords to be stored in a centralized location. Before instituting RADIUS, please setup and install a RADIUS server on the LAN.

Items in the above submenu are described as follows:

RADIUS State – Enables or disables RADIUS. When enabled, all settings in the Dial-in User Profile are disabled.

Type – Refers to the type of external password protocol. Currently, only RADIUS is supported.

Server IP Address – This is the IP Address of your Unix- or NT-based RADIUS server.

Port – The port number for the RADIUS server. The standard port number specified by RFC 1700 is 1812 (shown above).

Key – This is a shared secret used to identify the router as a valid RADIUS client.

The RADIUS authentication service works for dial-in users only. Thus, when RADIUS is enabled, passwords for dial-in users will no longer be checked in the dial-in user profile. Instead, the authentication request will be passed on to the RADIUS server. Remote networks (routers) dialing into the router will still be authenticated using the remote network profile.
