Radius Configuration
Radius is an authentication protocol where passwords are stored on a Radius server.
Radius allows large numbers of passwords to be stored in a centralized location.
Before instituting Radius, please setup and install a Radius server on the LAN.
Items in the above submenu are described as follows:
•
RADIUS State –
Enables or disables Radius. When enabled, all settings in the
Dial-in User Profile
are disabled.
•
Type –
Refers to the type of external password protocol. Currently, only Radius
is supported.
•
Server IP Address –
This is the IP Address of your UNIX or NT-based Radius
server.
•
Port –
The port number for the Radius server. The standard port number
specified by RFC 1700 is 1812 (shown above).
•
Key –
This is a shared secret used to identify the router as a valid Radius client.
The Radius authentication service works for dial-in users only. Thus, when Radius is
enabled, passwords for dial-in users will no longer be checked in the
dial-in user
profile
. Instead, the authentication request will be passed on to the Radius server.
Remote networks (routers) dialing into the router will still be authenticated using the
remote network profile
.
Multi-Link PPP Configuration
Multi-link PPP (MLPPP) is a standard (RFC 1990 and RFC 1717) for inverse
multiplexing, a method of combining individually dialed channels into a single,
higher speed data stream. MLPPP is an extension of PPP that supports the ordering
