User's Manual

Use RADIUS servers to perform authentication, authorization, and accounting for the 802.1X users. If
RADIUS accounting fails, the access device logs the user off. The RADIUS servers run CAMS or IMC.
Configure the host at 10.1.1.1 as the primary authentication and secondary accounting servers, and the
host at 10.1.1.2 as the secondary authentication and primary accounting servers. Assign all users to the
ISP domain test.
Configure the shared key as name for packets between the access device and the authentication server,
and the shared key as money for packets between the access device and the accounting server.
Exclude the ISP domain name from the username sent to the RADIUS servers.
Specify the device to try up to 5 times at an interval of 5 seconds in transmitting a packet to the RADIUS
server until it receives a response from the server, and to send real time accounting packets to the
accounting server every 15 minutes.
