Configuring an External RADIUS Server
To configure RADIUS authentication servers on the WFS709TP:
1. Collect the following required information for RADIUS server configuration (Table 6-1).
Note: In order for an external authentication server to process requests from the
WFS709TP, you must configure the server to recognize the WFS709TP. Refer to
the vendor documentation for the external authentication server for information on
how to do this.
