RADIUS
Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers provide a centralized 802.1X
network access control. The device is a RADIUS client that can use a RADIUS server to provide
centralized security.
An organization can establish a RADIUS server to provide centralized 802.1X network access
control for all of its devices. In this way, authentication and authorization can be handled on a
single server for all devices in the organization.
The device can act as a RADIUS client that uses the RADIUS server for the following services:
•
Authentication—Provides authentication of regular and 802.1X users logging onto the
device by using usernames and user-defined passwords.
•
Authorization—Performed at login. After the authentication session is completed, an
authorization session starts using the authenticated username. The RADIUS server then
checks user privileges.
•
Accounting—Enable accounting of login sessions using the RADIUS server. This enables a
system administrator to generate accounting reports from the RADIUS server.
Accounting Using a RADIUS Server
The user can enable accounting of login sessions using a RADIUS server.
The user-configurable, TCP port used for RADIUS server accounting is the same TCP port that is
used for RADIUS server authentication and authorization.
