RADIUS Overview
The RADIUS protocol provides centralized user management services. PTP 820G and PTP 820F supports RADIUS
server and provides a RADIUS client for authentication and authorization. When RADIUS is enabled, a user
attempting to log into the system from any access channel (CLI, WEB, NMS) is not authenticated locally. Instead,
the user’s credentials
are sent to a centralized standard RADIUS server which indicates to the PTP 820G or PTP
820F whether the user is known, and which privilege is to be given to the user.
The following RADIUS servers are supported:
•
FreeRADIUS
•
RADIUS on Windows Server (IAS)
o
Windows Server 2008
You can define up to two Radius servers. If you define two, one serves as the primary server and the other as the
secondary server.
Activating RADIUS Authentication

1.
Select
Platform > Security > Access Control > Radius > Radius Configuration
