Radius Workflow
To user a RADIUS server, do the following:
Open an account for the device on the RADIUS server.
Configure that server along with the other parameters in the RADIUS and ADD
RADIUS Server pages.
If more than one RADIUS server has been configured, the device uses the
configured priorities of the available RADIUS servers to select the RADIUS server
to be used by the device.
To set the RADIUS server parameters:
Click Security > RADIUS.
Enter the default RADIUS parameters if required. Values entered in the Default
Parameters are applied to all servers. If a value is not entered for a specific server
(in the Add RADIUS Server page) the device uses the values in these fields.
•
Retries—Enter the number of transmitted requests that are sent to the
RADIUS server before a failure is considered to have occurred.
•
Timeout for Reply—Enter the number of seconds that the device waits for
an answer from the RADIUS server before retrying the query, or switching to
the next server.
•
Dead Time—Enter the number of minutes that elapse before a non-
responsive RADIUS server is bypassed for service requests. If the value is 0,
the server is not bypassed.
•
Key String—Enter the default key string used for authenticating and
encrypting between the device and the RADIUS server. This key must match
the key configured on the RADIUS server. A key string is used to encrypt
communications by using MD5. The key can be entered in Encrypted or
Plaintext form. If you do not have an encrypted key string (from another
device), enter the key string in plaintext mode and click Apply. The
encrypted key string is generated and displayed.
This overrides the default key string if one has been defined.
