RADIUS Authentication and Accounting for Subscriber Access Management Overview

To configure the router or switch to use RADIUS authentication and accounting for the subscriber access management feature, you create access profiles that specify the following levels of configuration. Subscriber access management supports access profiles attached at the [edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances routing-instance-name] hierarchy level.

• Router or switch interaction with RADIUS servers—Specify how the router or switch interacts with RADIUS servers, such as the ports used for authentication and accounting, the number of times the router or switch tries to contact a RADIUS server, and passwords.
• Authentication and accounting parameters—Create the access profile that defines authentication and accounting parameters, such as the authentication or accounting methods to use, and how accounting statistics are collected and used.
• RADIUS parameters—Specify the RADIUS servers and options for authentication and accounting, and define how RADIUS attributes are used.
