RADIUS Client Support

TheNetopia R910 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.

Earlier routers use a local console authentication database consisting of between one and four user- name/password pairs. They require a user seeking console configuration access to log in with a username and password when at least one username/password pair have been configured locally in the router. If no user- name/password pairs are defined, a user seeking console configuration access is given access without being required to log in.

TheR910 adds 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
