Juniper JUNOSE 11.0.X MULTICAST ROUTING, Configuration Manual

if you specify the radius keyword followed by the none keyword when configuring
authentication, AAA initially attempts to use RADIUS authentication. If no RADIUS
servers are available, AAA uses no authentication. The JUNOSe software currently
supports
radius and none as accounting methods and radius , none , and local as
authentication methods. See “Configuring Local Authentication Servers” on page 40
for information about local authentication.
You can configure authentication and accounting methods based on the following
types of subscribers:
■
ATM 1483
■
Tunnels (for example, L2TP tunnels)
■
PPP
■
RADIUS relay server
■
IP subscriber management interfaces
NOTE: IP subscriber management interfaces are static or dynamic interfaces that
are created or managed by the JUNOSe software’s subscriber management feature.
Supporting Exchange of Extensible Authentication Protocol Messages
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a protocol that supports multiple methods
for authenticating a peer before allowing network layer protocols to transmit over
the link. JUNOSe software supports the exchange of EAP messages between JUNOSe
applications, such as PPP, and an external RADIUS authentication server.
The JUNOSe software’s AAA service accepts and passes EAP messages between the
JUNOSe application and the router’s internal RADIUS authentication server. The
internal RADIUS authentication server, which is a RADIUS client, provides EAP
pass-through—the RADIUS client accepts the EAP messages from AAA, and sends
the messages to the external RADIUS server for authentication. The RADIUS client
then passes the response from the external RADIUS authentication server back to
the AAA service, which then sends a response to the JUNOSe application. The AAA
service and the internal RADIUS authentication service do not process EAP
information—both simply act as pass-through devices for the EAP message.
The router’s local authentication server and authentication servers do not
support the exchange of EAP messages. These type of servers deny access if they
receive an authentication request from AAA that includes an EAP message. EAP
messages do not affect the
none authentication configuration, which always grants
access.
The local RADIUS authentication server uses the following RADIUS attributes when
exchanging EAP messages with the external RADIUS authentication server:
