RADIUS Client
Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers provide a centralized 802.1X or MAC-based network access control. The device can be configured to be a RADIUS client that can use a RADIUS server to provide centralized security, and as a RADIUS server. An organization can use the device as establish a Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server to provide centralized 802.1X or MAC-based network access control for all of its devices. In this way, authentication and authorization can be handled on a single server for all devices in the organization.
