44.1.2 RADIUS Server
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication is a popular
protocol used to authenticate users by means of an external server instead of (or
in addition to) an internal device user database that is limited to the memory
capacity of the device. In essence, RADIUS authentication allows you to validate a
large number of users from a central location.
