3- Configure the RADIUS server with these parameters:

  • Name to recognize the server.
  • Server IP address is the IP address of the RADIUS server.
  • Server UDP port is the UDP port of the RADIUS server.
  • Public IP address The IP address that will be set in the NAS-IP-Address attribute, when present. This is used when the RADIUS client is behind a NAT. Leave this field empty in order to use the source IP address instead.
  • Timeout The time to wait (in milliseconds or seconds) for a response from the RADIUS server before retrying.
  • Retries is the number of times to send the same request again when the timeout is reached. See full details on functionality here: CDR redundancy
  • Server type is the type of RADIUS server this configuration corresponds to. The choices are Accounting for CDR functionality and Authorization for authentication and authorization.
  • Associated server is used to link Accounting and Authorization servers together. See full details on functionality here:ACCT/AUTH Association
  • Use polling (Status-Server) dictates if polling with the Status-Server message is supported by this server. When enabled, this option allows the RADIUS client to recognize quickly and efficiently if the RADIUS server is available or not.
  • Polling Delay The time to wait (in milliseconds or seconds) before polling the server.
  • Server secret is the passphrase to authenticate the TMG on the RADIUS server.
