Configuring RADIUS
Accounting
Use the following CLI command to configure RADIUS accounting
settings:
set accounting
primary_port <port_number>
primary_secret <string>
primary_server <name_or_ip_address>
retransmissions <count>
secondary_port <port_number>
secondary_secret <string>
secondary_server <name_or_ip_address>
start_time <authentication | connection
timeout <seconds>
use_servers <one | both>
Configure RADIUS accounting parameters by setting the following
values. Each step describes a parameter. An example is shown after the
final step.
1 Select the primary RADIUS accounting server. Use the following
command:
set accounting primary_server <ip_address>
2 Optional . Select the secondary RADIUS accounting server. If your network
has more than one RADIUS accounting server, indicate which one is
considered the secondary server. If for some reason the primary server is
unavailable, the RAS 1500 checks with the secondary server. Use the
following command:
set accounting secondary_server <ip_address>
3 Set the primary and secondary secret (encryption) keys.
These are the first and secondary encryption key that the RAS 1500 uses
to encrypt passwords and the RADIUS server uses to decrypt them.
Specify with a string of up to 15 ASCII characters for each server. Use the
following commands:
set accounting primary_secret <string>
set accounting secondary_secret <string>
