Configuration Options
6.8.9. RADIUS Parameters
Notes:
• In the Text Interface, the IPv4 and IPv6 RADIUS Parameters menus are
accessed via the Network Configuration menu as described in Section 6.8.
• In the Web Browser Interface, both IPv4 and IPv6 parameters are defined via
a single RADIUS Parameters menu, which is accessed via the flyout menus
under the Network Configuration link.
The RADIUS Configuration Menus offer the following options:
•
Enable:
Enables/Disables the RADIUS feature at the Network Port. (Default = Off)
•
Primary Host:
Defines the IP address or domain name for your primary RADIUS
server. (Default = undefined.)
•
Primary Secret Word:
Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the primary RADIUS
server. (Default = undefined)
•
Secondary Host:
Defines the IP address or domain name for your secondary,
fallback RADIUS server. (Default = undefined)
•
Secondary Secret Word:
Defines the RADIUS Secret Word for the secondary
RADIUS server. (Default = undefined)
•
Fallback Timer:
Determines how long the VMR/NPS will continue to attempt to
contact the primary RADIUS Server before falling back to the secondary RADIUS
Server. (Default = 3 Seconds)
•
Fallback Local:
Determines whether or not the VMR/NPS will fallback to its
own password/username directory when an authentication attempt fails. When
enabled, the VMR/NPS will first attempt to authenticate the password by checking
the RADIUS Server; if this fails, the VMR/NPS will then attempt to authenticate the
password by checking its own internal username directory. This parameter offers
three options:
Off:
Fallback Local is disabled (Default.)
On (All Failures):
Fallback Local is enabled, and the unit will fallback to it's
own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server, or when a
password or username does not match the Radius Server.
On (Transport Failure):
Fallback Local is enabled, but the unit will only fallback
to it's own internal user directory when it cannot contact the Radius Server.
•
Retries:
Determines how many times the VMR/NPS will attempt to contact the
RADIUS server. Note that the retries parameter applies to both the Primary RADIUS
Server and the Secondary RADIUS Server. (Default = 3)
•
Authentication Port:
The Authentication Port number for the RADIUS function.
(Default = 1812)
