Displayed/Editable Parameters
To configure selected devices as clients to a different RADIUS server than the currently-
configured RADIUS server, enter the following fields:
• Server Address—IPv4 address or IPv6 address of the RADIUS server.
• Key string—Key string used for the RADIUS server (up to 128 characters).
When displayed, this parameter is displayed in the encrypted format. You can elect to enter the 
key string in encrypted or plaintext format.
• Authentication Port—Number of the authentication port.
• Authentication Methods—List of the authentication methods used for each device 
by the channel currently used on SNA (HTTP or HTTPS). The common values for this 
parameter are Local or RADIUS, Local. If the current value for a device is any other 
value, the copy option is not available for this device. When copying settings, the value 
RADIUS, Local is mapped to the RADIUS Primary Authentication Method radio 
button.
• Primary Authentication Method—Write-only parameter that appears in the 
configuration section. It is a selection between two values: Local Database, 
RADIUS. If RADIUS is selected, the actual value configured for all channels is 
RADIUS, Local.
DNS Client Configuration
The DNS Client Configuration service enables defining the DNS server that the selected 
devices use.
