RADIUS
Although RADIUS can be used strictly for external authentication, it can also be used to configure
line and user parameters. Therefore, when a user is being authenticated using RADIUS, it is possible
that the user’s configuration is a compilation of the parameters passed back from RADIUS, the
IOLAN parameters if the user has also been set up as a local user in the IOLAN, and the Default
User’s parameters for any parameters that have not been set by either RADIUS or the user’s local
configuration.
