Step 3 Enter the RADIUS server IP address in the IP Address field. If the node is an end network element
(ENE), enter the IP address of the gateway network element (GNE) in this field.
The GNE passes authentication requests from the ENEs in its network to the RADIUS server, which
grants authentication if the GNE is listed as a client on the server.
In ONS 15310 Software Release 9.0 and later, you can configure IPv6 addresses for RADIUS servers,
Note
in addition to IPv4 addresses.
Because the ENE nodes use the GNE to pass authentication requests to the RADIUS server, you must
Caution
add the ENEs to the RADIUS server individually for authentication. If you do not add the ENE node to
a RADIUS server prior to activating RADIUS authentication, no user will be able to access the node.
Refer to the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server for more information about adding a
node to a RADIUS server.
Enter the shared secret in the Shared Secret field. A shared secret is a text string that serves as a password
Step 4
between a RADIUS client and RADIUS server.
Enter the RADIUS authentication port number in the Authentication Port field. The default port is 1812.
Step 5
If the node is an ENE, set the authentication port to a number within the range of 1860 to 1869.
