Paradyne JetFusion Integrated Access Device Server Settings, Changing the Radius Server Address

RADIUS

Server

Settings

You can use a RADIUS server to determine the validity of unknown user ID/password pairs in your IAD. To use a RADIUS server, set the following options:

￿Change the primary or secondary RADIUS Server Address

￿Change the primary or secondary RADIUS Encryption Secret

￿Display RADIUS Configuration

NOTE Paradyne does not provide a RADIUS server. You must provide a RADIUS server to use this feature. For more information on RADIUS servers, see RFC 2865.

If you configure a RADIUS server, the IAD must be able to successfully connect to the RADIUS Server. This requires WAN configuration, IP configuration, static or default routes and other configurations for your network. Additionally, you must use a RADIUS-authenticated user ID/ password for Telnet access. If the RADIUS server becomes inoperative, Telnet access will not work.

Changing the RADIUS Server Address

To change the primary or secondary RADIUS server address:

1.On the Main menu, type 8 (Configure Login) to display the Password Configuration menu (page 24).

2.Type 5 to select Change Primary RADIUS Server Address or Type 7 to select Change Secondary RADIUS Server Address.

The IAD displays the following message:

Primary/Secondary RADIUS Server is currently: Enter new Primary/Secondary RADIUS Server as either an IP address or name >

3.Type the IP address in one of the following formats and press Enter:

￿IP address

￿Fully-qualified host and domain names

(for example: radius.xyz.com—maximum 42 bytes)

NOTE If you enter host and domain names, you must configure the IAD as a DNS client (page 106).

4. Reset the IAD (page 14).

Changing the RADIUS Encryption Secret

To change the primary or secondary RADIUS encryption key:

1.On the Main menu, type 8 (Configure Login) to display the Password Configuration menu (page 24).

2.Type 6 to select Change Primary RADIUS Encryption Secret or type 8 to change Secondary RADIUS Encryption Secret.

The IAD displays the following message:
