InHand VG710 InVehicle Gateway User Manual

You can use only one or two of the security services provided by AAA. For example, if a company
only expects to authenticate employees when they access specific resources, the network administrator
only needs to configure the authentication server. However, if the company expects to record the
network usage of employees, the accounting server must be configured.
AAA usually works in the client/server structure, which is highly scalable and is convenient for
centralized management of user information, as shown in the figure below.
Note:

9.5.1 Radius
The Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (Radius) is a distributed information exchange
protocol based on the client/server structure. It protects the network from unauthorized access, and is
usually used in various network environments that require high security and allow remote user access.
Method for enabling the Radius server for the gateway:
Click "Administration >> AAA >> Radius". In "Server List", enter the server address (domain
name/IP address), port ID, and authentication key, click Add, and then click Apply & Save.
