For Special Users
Enum
Disable, Enable
Instant Defines whether authentication for
task-critical (root and ems) users is
peformed using the local user
database or via the centralized
authentication server.
 Disable – root and ems users are
authenticated via the centralized
RADIUS server (like any other CLI
user)
 Enable – root and ems users are
authenticated using the local user
database on SC boards.
RADIUS Auth
Retransmit Timeout
(sec)
Integer
1-100
Instant Defines the timeout (in seconds)
between RADIUS requests
retransmissions.
RADIUS Auth Number
Of Retries
Integer
1-100
Instant Defines the number of retransmission
attempts for each RADIUS server.
AAA Active Server Integer
1 – 3
Instant Indicates the currently active RADIUS
server. May be also used to force the
Media Gateway to work with the
specific RADIUS server (assuming
that the server is available).
AAA Cache Password
Expiration
Integer
0 – 90
Instant Defines the expiration time for
"cached" entries in the local user
database.
For example, when set to 30, after a
successful login to the Mediant 8000,
the CLI username and password are
"cached" for one month. In case of
network outage, within this period, a
specific user will be able to login into
the Gateway CLI using the same
credentials.
Value 0 disables the local cache
feature. Note, however, that in this
case, access to the Gateway CLI will
be impossible in certain emergency
scenarios (e.g. in case of network
outage).
