Setting Up RADIUS Authentication

To use RADIUS authentication, you must configure at least one RADIUS server.

The procedure provided in this section identifies the RADIUS server, specifies the secret (password) of the RADIUS server, and sets the source address of the Services Router's RADIUS requests to the loopback address of the router. The procedure uses the following sample values:

To configure RADIUS authentication:

  1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 15.
  3. If you are finished configuring the network, commit the configuration.

    To completely set up RADIUS authentication, you must create user template accounts and specify a system authentication order.

  4. Go on to one of the following procedures:

Table 15: Setting Up RADIUS Authentication

Add a new RADIUS server

  1. In the Radius server box, click Add new entry.
  2. In the Address box, type the IP address of the RADIUS server:

    172.16.98.1

Set the IP address of the RADIUS server:

set radius-server address 172.16.98.1

Specify the shared secret (password) of the RADIUS server. The secret is stored as an encrypted value in the configuration database.

In the Secret box, type the shared secret of the RADIUS server:

Radiussecret1

Set the shared secret of the RADIUS server:

set radius-server 172.16.98.1 secret Radiussecret1

Specify the source address to be included in the RADIUS server requests by the router. In most cases, you can use the loopback address of the router.

In the Source address box, type the loopback address of the router:

10.0.0.1

Set the router's loopback address as the source address:

set radius-server 172.16.98.1 source-address 10.0.0.1
