Basic Configuration

5.9.10. RADIUS Parameters

To access the RADIUS Configuration Menus, proceed as follows:

•Text Interface: Type /N and press [Enter] to access the Network Configuration Menu. From the Network Configuration Menu, type 29 and press [Enter] to display the RADIUS Configuration Menu.

•Web Browser Interface: Click on the "RADIUS Parameters" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the RADIUS Configuration Menu.

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 long) 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 MPC 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 MPC will fallback to its own password/username directory when an authentication attempt fails. When enabled, the MPC will first attempt to authenticate the password by checking the RADIUS Server; if this fails, the MPC 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.

•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 MPC will put RADIUS debug information into Syslog. (Default = Off.)
