RADIUS Authentication Server
==================================
IP Address: 3.204.240.1
UDP Port: 1812
Shared Secret: secret
(continued on following page)
The RADIUS server is on port 2. This port is
authenticated manually. If the RADIUS server is
several hops away, it may be necessary to
authenticate the interconnection ports. Make sure
the
setport port=2 status=enable
control=forceauth initialize=assert
command
is executed before the
auth enable command.
The auth disable command is not
necessary. However, it is shown for
completeness in case a RADIUS
server was defined with a previously
set authentication scheme.
The RADIUS server is
connected on port #2
