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.
