9.1.7 Remote groups with RADIUS authentication
 Enter the RADIUS Authentication and Authorization Server Address and Server Password
 Click Apply.
 Edit the Radius user’s file to include group information and restart the Radius server
When using RADIUS authentication, group names are provided to the console server using the Framed-Filter-Id
attribute. This is a standard RADIUS attribute, and may be used by other devices that authenticate via RADIUS.
To interoperate with other devices using this field, the group names can be added to the end of any existing content in
the attribute, in the following format:
:group_name=testgroup1,users:
The above example sets the remote user as a member of testgroup1 and users if groups with those names exist on
the console server. Any groups which do not exist on the console server are ignored.
When setting the Framed-Filter-Id, the system may also remove the leading colon for an empty field. To work around
this, add some dummy text to the start of the string. For example:
dummy:group_name=testgroup1,users:
 If no group is specified for a user, for example AmandaJones, then the user will have no User Interface and
serial port access but limited console access
 Default groups available on the console server include ‘admin’ for administrator access and ‘users’ for general
user access
