RADIUS Overview
The RADIUS protocol provides centralized user management services. PTP 820 supports RADIUS
server and provides a RADIUS client for authentication and authorization. When RADIUS is
enabled, a user attempting to log into the system from any access channel (CLI, WEB, NMS) is not
authenticated locally. Instead, the user’s credentials are sent to a centralized standard RADIUS
server which indicates to the PTP 820 whether the user is known, and which privilege is to be
given to the user.
The following RADIUS servers are supported:
 FreeRADIUS
 RADIUS on Windows Server (IAS)
o Windows Server 2008
You can define up to two Radius servers. If you define two, one serves as the primary server and
the other as the secondary server.
Activating RADIUS Authentication
To activate RADIUS authentication:
1. Select Platform > Security > Access Control > Radius > Radius Configuration. The Radius
Configuration page opens.
