RADIUS Server
Managing diverse serial lines and modem pools for large numbers of users creates the need for significant
administrative support. Since modem pools are links to the outside world, careful attention must be paid to
security, authorization, and accounting. This can best be achieved by managing a single database of users
allowing authentication (verifying user names and passwords) as well as configuration of information that
details the type of service to deliver to the user (e.g. SLIP, PPP, Telnet, and rlogin). The NPort 6000 supports
the RADIUS protocol, which requires only one database for remote user management.
