:
RADIUS Server
Name: Enter the name of the new external RADIUS server.
IP address: Enter the IP address of the external RADIUS server.
Auth port: Enter the authorization port number of the external RADIUS server. The port number is set
to 1812 by default.
Accounting port: Enter the accounting port number. This port is used to send accounting records to
the RADIUS server. The port number is set to 1813 by default
Shared key: Enter a shared key for communicating with the external RADIUS server.
Timeout: Indicates the timeout for one radius request. The IAP will retry to send the request several
times (as configured in the “Retry count”) before the user gets disconnected. e.g. If the “Timeout” is 5
sec, “Retry counter” is 3, user will be disconnected after 20 sec (“Timeout” x “Retry c 1). The
default value is 5 seconds.
Retry count: Specify a number between 1 and 5. Indicates the maximum number of authentication
requests that are sent to server group, and the default value is 3 requests.
RFC 3576: When enabled, the Access Points will process RFC 3576-compliant Change of
Authorization (CoA) and Disconnect messages from the RADIUS server. Disconnect messages cause a
user session to be terminated immediately, whereas CoA messages modify session authorization
attributes such as data filters.
NAS IP address: Enter the Virtual Controller IP address. The NAS IP address is the Virtual Controller
IP address that is sent in data packets. Note: If you don’t enter the IP address, the Virtual Controller IP
address is used by default when Dynamic Radius Proxy is enabled.

RADIUS requests to the RADIUS server.

Auth port: Enter the authorization port number of the external RADIUS server. The port number is set
to 1812 by default.

the entries in the LDAP database. The user may not have write privileges but will be able to search the
database, and read attributes of the other users in the database.
Admin password: Enter a admin password.
Base-DN: Enter a Distinguished Name of the node which contains the entire user database.
Filter: Indicates the filter that should be applied to search for the user in the LDAP database. The
default filter string is (objectclass=*).
