196 Configuring System Information
Configuring Users in a Remote RADIUS Server
You can use a remote RADIUS server client authorization. You must add all users to the RADIUS server.
The local database does not share any information with the remote RADIUS database.
The following table indicates the RADIUS attributes you use to configure authorized captive portal
clients. The table indicates both RADIUS attributes and vendor-specific attributes (VSA). VSAs are
denoted in the Attribute column and are comma delimited (vendor id, attribute id).
User Group
You can assign Local Users to User Groups that you create. If the Verification Mode is Local or RADIUS,
you assign a User Group to a CP Configuration. All users who belong to the group are permitted to
access the network through this portal. The User Group list is the same for all CP configurations on the
switch.
To view and configure User Groups, click System > Captive Portal > User Group.
