RADIUS Client Support

The Netopia 4753 implements a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) client (RFC 2138) and adds the ability to authenticate console configuration access using a RADIUS server. This feature is strictly for console menu access authentication only and is not intended for WAN connectivity access authentication.

The Netopia 4753 has the ability to authenticate users seeking console configuration access by using a remote authentication database maintained by a RADIUS server. It supports four security database modes:

■Local Only

■RADIUS only

■RADIUS then Local

■Local then RADIUS
