Table 1-5 RADIUS parameters Item Server Type Authentication Server Shared Key Confirm Authentication Shared Key Accounting Server Shared Key Confirm Accounting Shared Key NAS-IP Timeout Interval Description Specify the type of the RADIUS server supported by the device, including: z extended: Specifies an extended RADIUS server (usually an iMC server). That is, the RADIUS client (the device) and RADIUS server communicate using the proprietary RADIUS protocol and packet format. z standard: Specifies a standard RADIUS server. That is, the RADIUS client (the device) and RADIUS server communicate using the standard RADIUS protocol and packet format defined in RFC 2138/2139 or later. Specify and confirm the shared key for the authentication server. These two parameters must have the same values. Specify and confirm the shared key for the accounting server. These two parameters must have the same values. Specify the source IP address for the device to use in RADIUS packets to be sent to the RADIUS server. It is recommended to use a loopback interface address instead of a physical interface address as the source IP address, because if the physical interface is down, the response packets from the server cannot reach the device. Set the RADIUS server response timeout. 1-9
