Radius Setup - Draytek VIGOR3300V+ User Manual

4.3.3 RADIUS Setup

A RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a security authentication
client/server protocol widely used by Internet service providers on other remote access
service. A RADIUS is the most common means of authenticating and authorizing dial-up
and tunneled network users. The built-in RADIUS client function allows you to extend the
remote dial-in user accounts to the RADIUS server. Your user accounts will not be limited
by built-in accounts (in VPN>>PPTP>>User Profile). It also lets you centralize remote
access authentication for network management.
Radius is a server for remote user authentication and accounting. Its primary use is for
Internet Service Providers, though it may as well be used on any network that needs a
centralized authentication and/or accounting service. A Radius supports a wide variety of
authentication schemes. A user supplies his authentication data to the server either directly
by answering the terminal server's login/password prompts, or using PAP of CHAP
protocols.
The Vigor 3300V+ supports Radius client function. A user can configure some
authentication information to do an authentication with Radius server. In Vigor3300 Series,
it is only applied by VPN->PPTP function.
In the Advanced group, click the Radius option. You will get the following page.
