Basic Configuration
5.9.10. RADIUS Parameters
The RADIUS Configuration Menus offer the following options:
• Enable: Enables/disables the RADIUS feature at the Network Port. (Default = Off.)
• PrimaryAddress Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters
long) for your primary RADIUS server. (Default = undefined.)
• PrimarySecretWord: Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the primary RADIUS
server. (Default = undefined.)
• SecondaryAddress: Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters)
for your secondary, fallback RADIUS server (if present.) (Default = undefined.)
• SecondarySecretWord: Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the secondary
RADIUS server. (Default = undefined.)
• FallbackTimer: Determines how long the AFS-16 will continue to attempt to
contact the primary RADIUS Server before falling back to the secondary RADIUS
Server. (Default = 3 Seconds.)
• FallbackLocal: Determines whether or not the AFS-16 will fallback to its own
password/username directory when an authentication attempt fails. When enabled,
the AFS-16 will first attempt to authenticate the password by checking the RADIUS
Server; if this fails, the AFS-16 will then attempt to authenticate the password by
checking its own internal username directory. This parameter offers three options:
Off: Fallback Local is disabled (Default.)
On(AllFailures): Fallback Local is enabled, and the unit will fallback to it's
own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server, or when a
password or username does not match the Radius Server.
On(TransportFailure): Fallback Local is enabled, but the unit will only fallback
to it's own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server.
• Retries: Determines how many times the AFS-16 will attempt to contact the
RADIUS server. Note that the retries parameter applies to both the Primary RADIUS
Server and the Secondary RADIUS Server. (Default = 3.)
• AuthenticationPort: The Authentication Port number for the RADIUS function.
(Default = 1812.)
• AccountingPort: The Accounting Port number for the RADIUS function.
(Default = 1813.)
• Debug: (Text Interface Only) When enabled, the AFS-16 will put RADIUS debug
information into Syslog. (Default = Off.)
