Defining RADIUS 
Clients
Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers provide 
additional security for networks. RADIUS servers provide a centralized 
authentication method for 802.1X.  
The default parameters are user-defined, and are applied to newly 
defined RADIUS servers. If new default parameters are not defined, the 
system default values are applied to newly defined RADIUS servers. 
Monitor users have no access to this page.
