Authentication

RADIUS (Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service) servers provide security for networks. RADIUS servers provide authentication and authorization for networks. The RADIUS server maintains a user database, which contains authentication information. The Switch passes information to the configured RADIUS server, which can authenticate a user name and password before authorizing use of the network.

You can add a maximum of 5 RADIUS servers.

All the below fields in the table are mandatory and user defined.
