RADIUS Server

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client-server networking protocol

that runs in the application layer. The RADIUS protocol uses a RADIUS Server and RADIUS
Clients.

A RADIUS Client (or Network Access Server) is a networking device (like a VPN concentrator,
router, switch) that is used to authenticate users.

A RADIUS Server is a background process that runs on a UNIX or Windows server. It lets you
maintain user profiles in a central database. Hence, if you have a RADIUS Server, you have
control over who can connect with your network.

When a user tries to connect to a RADIUS Client, the Client sends requests to the RADIUS
Server. The user can connect to the RADIUS Client only if the RADIUS Server authenticates
and authorizes the user.

The working of the RADIUS Server depends on the exact nature of the RADIUS ecosystem.
However, all servers have AAA capabilities (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting). In
some RADIUS ecosystems, a RADIUS Server can also act as a proxy client to other RADIUS
Servers.

A RADIUS Server supports a variety of methods to authenticate a user. RADIUS Server

authentication and authorization go hand in hand and usually start when a user tries to connect to
the RADIUS Client using a username and password.

Step 1: Firstly, we will configure our IP address. After that we will configure our
server ip address and also configure the router.

IP Addressing Table:

1 Laptop 20.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 20.0.0.1

2 PC 20.0.0.3 255.255.255.0 20.0.0.1

3 Router(Fa0/0) 20.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 20.0.0.1

4 Server 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0

step 2: Now, we will configure the radius server. After this will configure AAA
Settings here.we will add the users to radius server.

Configure Server as AAA RADIUS server:

Step 3: Now, we will do the configure part on the router .Here we will use aaa
new-model. Thn enter our radius server address.

Configure Router:

Step 4: Now we will test our radius configuration by connecting with newly
defined users. First let’s check our radius server and turn it on.

Access Radius server from Router:

Step 5: Now we will test telnet from pc.
