DESCRIPTION

Host

alphanumeric characters) of a RADIUS server.

 

 

Authentication

The default port of the RADIUS server for authentication is 1812.

Port

You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do

 

so with additional information.

 

 

Key

Enter a password (up to 15 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

 

between the external authentication server and the ZyWALL.

 

The key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external

 

authentication server and the ZyWALL.

 

 

Timeout

Specify the timeout period (between 1 and 300 seconds) before the ZyWALL

Search timeout occurs when either the user information is not in the RADIUS server

 

or the RADIUS server is down.

Click Apply to save the changes.
