You can use a RADIUS Server profile to
define a remote Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server for use by one or
more networks that utilize an external RADIUS server (such as Enterprise AAA (802.1X)
networks).
Before you begin this procedure,
ensure that you have the IP address, port number, and shared secret of the primary
and secondary (if any) RADIUS server that you want to use to authenticate network
users.
Complete the following steps to create
a RADIUS server profile:
Add the RADIUS Server service to
your tenant account. From the navigation bar, select Network
Control > Service
Catalog. Alternatively, you can select Network
Control > My
Services, then click Add Service.
Find the RADIUS Server
tile and click Add.
The Add RADIUS Server page is
displayed.Add RADIUS Server
Enter a Profile Name for
the RADIUS server.
Select the Type of RADIUS
server to configure. The options are:
Authentication RADIUS
Server: Selecting this option enables the wireless device to
send authentication requests to the RADIUS server to verify user credentials
and allow or deny network access.
Accounting RADIUS
Server: Selecting this option enables the wireless device to
send accounting information to the RADIUS server to record user login,
logout, and usage details of the authenticated user.
