5 Configuring 8950 AAA
Client Properties
Overview
Purpose
This chapter discusses the process of configuring clients (NASs or other access points)
with the 8950 AAA Server Management Tool. Use the Clients panel to identify the clients
with whom your 8950 AAA server communicates during request processing. Refer to
your client product documentation for information specific to its configuration options.
The following topics are included in this chapter:
Introduction
Upon receiving a RADIUS request, 8950 AAA must first determine that the request is
from an authorized RADIUS client. The source of the request is validated before the
request is accepted for processing. The server uses the source IP address or domain name
of the data packet to locate client information stored in a special 8950 AAA file called the
clients file. The clients file is maintained using the Clients panel of the SMT. Messages
from unknown clients are logged and then discarded.
