Huawei SmartAX MA5600T User Manual

– Radius implements the user accounting by managing a simple user authentication
database.
– The authentication and accounting requests of users can be passed on to the Radius
server through a network access server (NAS).
l Principle of RADIUS:
– When a user tries to access another network (or some network resources) by setting up
a connection to the NAS through a network, the NAS forwards the user authentication
and accounting information to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS protocol specifies the
means of transmitting the user information and accounting information between the
NAS and the RADIUS server.
– The RADIUS server receives the connection requests of users sent from the NAS,
authenticates the user account and password contained in the user authentication data,
and returns the required data to the NAS.
l Specification:
– For the MA5600T/MA5603T/MA5608T, the RADIUS is configured based on each
RADIUS server group.
– In actual networking, a RADIUS server group can be any of the following:
– An independent RADIUS server
– A pair of primary/secondary RADIUS servers with the same configuration but
different IP addresses
– The following lists the attributes of a RADIUS server template:
– IP addresses of primary and secondary servers
– Shared key
– RADIUS server type
l The configuration of the RADIUS protocol defines only the essential parameters for the
information exchange between the MA5600T/MA5603T/MA5608T and the RADIUS
server. To make the essential parameters take effect, the RADIUS server group should be
referenced in a certain domain.
l The RADIUS attribute list defines the attribute parameters for interaction between the
MA5600T/MA5603T/MA5608T and the RADIUS server. Table 2-3 describes the
parameters.
