Configuring RADIUS Clients (NSM Procedure)

To enable the Infranet Controller to respond to a network access device, you must configure a RADIUS client in the Infranet Controller.

Configure RADIUS clients by following these procedures:

1. Uploading a New RADIUS Client Dictionary
2. Creating a RADIUS Dictionary Based on an Existing Model
3. Creating a New RADIUS Client

Uploading a New RADIUS Client Dictionary

To upload a new RADIUS client dictionary to the Infranet Controller:

1. In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices.
2. Click the Device Tree tab, and then double-click the Infranet Controller device for which you want to upload the RADIUS client dictionary.
3. Click the Configuration tab. In the configuration tree, select UAC > Network Access > RADIUS Dictionary.
4. Add or modify settings on the RADIUS Dictionary tab as specified in Table 1.
5. Click one:
   • OK—Saves the changes.
   • Cancel—Cancels the modifications.

You can only remove dictionaries that are not associated with a vendor. You can download any dictionary from the list, including preinstalled dictionaries. You can modify the downloaded dictionary, and then upload it as a new make or model.
