Server address Enter the host name or the IP address of the external RADIUS server. RadSec Set RadSec to Enabled to enable secure communication between the RADIUS server and W-IAP clients by creating a TLS tunnel between the W-IAP and the server. If RadSec is enabled, the following configuration options are displayed: l RadSec port-Communication port number for RadSec TLS connection. By default, the port number is set to 2083. l RFC 3576 l RFC 5997 l NAS IP address l NAS identifier For more information on RadSec configuration, see Enabling RADIUS Communication over TLS on page 156. Auth port Enter the authorization port number of the external RADIUS server within the range of 1-65,535. The default port number is 1812. Accounting port Enter the accounting port number within the range of 1-65,535. This port is used for sending accounting records to the RADIUS server. The default port number is 1813. Shared key Enter a shared key for communicating with the external RADIUS server. Retype key Re-enter the shared key. Timeout Specify a timeout value in seconds. The value determines the timeout for one RADIUS request. The W-IAP retries to send the request several times (as configured in the Retry count) before the user gets disconnected. For example, if the Timeout is 5 seconds, Retry counter is 3, user is disconnected after 20 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. Retry count Specify a number between 1 and 5. Indicates the maximum number of authentication requests that are sent to the server group, and the default value is 3 requests. 152 | Authentication and User Management Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
