RADIUS client
Authentication over an external server
The concept of RADIUS is based on an external authentication server. An end device can
only access the network after the device has verified the logon data of the device with the
authentication server. Both the end device and the authentication server must support the
EAP protocol (Extensive Authentication Protocol).
Each column of the table contains access data for one server. In the search order, the
primary server is queried first. If the primary server cannot be reached, secondary servers
are queried in the order in which they are entered.
If no server responds, there is no authentication. The client has no access to the network
although a link is indicated at the port.
