Configuring Clients
About Configuring Clients
A RADIUS client (NAS or other resource with RADIUS client capabilities) passes session
information to designated RADIUS servers and acts on the response returned. The 8950
AAA server must have the following information for each client that sends RADIUS
requests to the server:
•
IP address or domain name of the client
•
A shared secret used between the server and the client
Important!
Do not add entries for remote servers that will receive requests provided
from the 8950 AAA server unless requests are also received directly from this remote
server.
