Parameter Description
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.
➢ To configure RADIUS packet retransmission:
1. Open the Authentication Server page (Setup menu > Administration tab > Web & CLI folder
> Authentication Server).
2. Under the RADIUS group, do the following:
● In the 'RADIUS Packets Retransmission' field (RADIUSRetransmission), enter the
maximum number of RADIUS retransmissions that the device performs if no response is
received from the RADIUS server.
● In the 'RADIUS Response Time Out' field (RadiusTO), enter the interval (in seconds) that
the device waits for a response before sending a RADIUS retransmission.
3. Click Apply.
Configuring the RADIUS Vendor ID
The vendor-specific attribute (VSA) identifies the device to the RADIUS server using the Vendor ID
(as registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority or IANA). The device's default vendor
ID is 5003 which can be changed, as described in the following procedure. For an example of using
the Vendor ID, see Setting Up a Third-Party RADIUS Server. The procedure is applicable to both
RADIUS-based user authentication and RADIUS-based accounting.
The Vendor ID must be the same as the Vendor ID set on the third-party RADIUS
server. See the example for setting up a third-party RADIUS server in Setting Up a
Third-Party RADIUS Server.
