Table 16-6: RADIUS Servers Table Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
'Index'
[RadiusServers_
Index]
Defines an index number for the new table row.
Note: Each row must be configured with a unique index.
'IP Address'
ip-address
[RadiusServers_
IPAddress]
Defines the IP address of the RADIUS server (in dotted-decimal
notation).
'Authentication
Port'
auth-port
[RadiusServers_
AuthenticationPort]
Defines the port of the RADIUS Authentication server for authenticating
the device with the RADIUS server. When set to any value other than
0, the RADIUS server is used by the device for RADIUS-based
management-user login authentication. When set to 0, RADIUS-based
login authentication is not implemented.
The valid value is 0 to any integer. The default is 1645.
'Accounting Port'
acc-port
[RadiusServers_
AccountingPort]
Defines the port of the RADIUS Accounting server to where the device
sends accounting data of SIP calls as call detail records (CDR). When
set to any value other than 0, the RADIUS server is used by the device
for RADIUS-based accounting (CDR). When set to 0, RADIUS-based
accounting is not implemented.
The valid value is 0 to any integer. The default is 1646.
'Shared Secret'
shared-secret
[RadiusServers_
SharedSecret]
Defines the shared secret (password) for authenticating the device with
the RADIUS server. This should be a cryptically strong password. The
shared secret is also used by the RADIUS server to verify the
authentication of the RADIUS messages sent by the device (i.e.,
message integrity).
The valid value is up to 48 characters. By default, no value is defined.
Configuring Interface for RADIUS Communication
The device can communicate with the RADIUS server through its' OAMP (default) or SIP Control
network interface. To change the interface for RADIUS traffic, use the RadiusTrafficType
parameter.
● If you configure the parameter to Control, make sure that only one Control interface
is configured in the IP Interfaces table (see Configuring IP Network Interfaces);
otherwise, RADIUS communication fails.
Configuring RADIUS Packet Retransmission
You can configure the device to resend packets to the RADIUS server if no response is received
from the server. This functionality is applicable to RADIUS- based user authentication and
RADIUS-based accounting.
