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 device. The procedure uses the following sample values:

• The RADIUS server's IP address is 172.16.98.1.
• The RADIUS server's secret is Radiussecret1.
• The loopback address of the device is 10.0.0.1.

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 40.
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:
   • To specify a system authentication order, see Configuring Authentication Order.
   • To configure a remote user template account, see Creating a Remote Template Account.
   • To configure local user template accounts, see Creating a Local Template Account.
