CHAPTER 8
RADIUS
8.1 Overview
You can use an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
server to authenticate the subscriber connections and keep track of accounting
information.
RADIUS is based on a client-sever model that supports authentication,
authorization and accounting. This system is the client and the server is the
external RADIUS server.
RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which the N4100 acts as a message relay
between the subscribers and the RADIUS server to establish a connection. When
you enable RADIUS authentication, the N4100 uses RADIUS protocol (RFC 2865,
2866) to send subscriber authentication information to the external RADIUS
server.
When you use an external RADIUS server for accounting, you can use either
accumulation or time to finish accounting. See Chapter 9 on page 99 for
information on accumulation and time to finish accounting.
8.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the RADIUS screen (Section 4.2 on page 64) to configure the N4100 to use
an external RADIUS server.
