#

This field displays the index number. 

Name

This is the name of the RADIUS server entry.

Server 
Address

This is the address of the AD or LDAP server.

Base DN

This specifies a directory. For example, 

o=ZyXEL, c=US

. 

Host

Enter the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) or the domain name (up 
to 63 alphanumeric characters) of a RADIUS server. 

Authentication 
Port

The default port of the RADIUS server for authentication is 1812. 

You need not change this value unless your network administrator 
instructs you to do so with additional information. 

Key

Enter a password (up to 15 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be 
shared between the external authentication server and the ZyWALL. 

The key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the 
external authentication server and the ZyWALL. 

Timeout

Specify the timeout period (between 1 and 300 seconds) before the 
ZyWALL disconnects from the RADIUS server. In this case, user 
authentication fails. 

Search timeout occurs when either the user information is not in the 
RADIUS server or the RADIUS server is down.
