Using RADIUS Authentication
In addition to the dial-in user list, which can hold up to eight users, this model also
supports an external authentication server which may provide password storage and
usage accounting for thousands of users.
Installing a RADIUS Server
To use RADIUS authentication, you will need to have a UNIX or Windows NT-
based machine on your network to act as a
radiusd
server, as well as a copy of the
radiusd
server program itself. You can obtain a copy of the RADIUS software,
along with documentation for the server, at
