## Radius server settings

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server protocol. The communication between a remote access server and a central server to authenticate and authorize dial-in users is done using RADIUS. It then grants them access to the required system or service.

## Configuring RADIUS server settings

- Go to **Settings -> Authentication -> Radius Server Settings**
- Enter the server's IP Address in the **Server IP** field.
- Next, enter the Authentication Port number of the server.
- Enter the **Server Secret** that has been configured in the RADIUS Server.
- Select the required protocol from the drop down.
- Click the radio button to set the number of times the Authentication process has to be reiterated.
- Click **Save** and the RADIUS server settings will be updated.
