2.On the Authentication page, define values for the parameters as follows:

–Validation: Select staticThenRadius(4) or radiusUsers(2).

Note We recommend you select staticThenRadius then add a static user to the RAS’s user database. This will provide you an alternate login method so you can still manage your RAS if RADIUS authentication should fail.

–Host Address: Enter the IP address of your RADIUS server.

–Secondary Host Address: Enter the IP address of your fallback RADIUS server, if you have one. Other- wise, leave blank.

–Host Port: Enter the UDP Port number your RADIUS server uses to receive authentication requests (typically 1645 or 1812).

Note The primary and secondary RADIUS server will use the same port number.

–Timeout: 2 is the default value; leave it alone unless you know better.

–Retries: 3 is the default value; leave it alone unless you know better

–Secret: Enter the secret from your RAS client profile on your RADIUS server.

–NAS Identifier: Optional. You may enter the IP address or ‘friendly name’ of your RAS as defined in your RADIUS server’s client list.
