The RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a client/server security protocol. Security information is stored in a central location, known as the RADIUS server. RADIUS clients, such as FCD-IPM, communicate with the RADIUS server to authenticate users. Although the term RADIUS refers to the network protocol that the client and server use to communicate, it is often used to refer to the entire client/server system.

The three main functions of RADIUS are:

•Authentication

•Authorization

•Accounting.

To perform these functions, you must configure the parameters described in

Table 5-4.
