3. Enter the required information.

   Radius Server Setting Description IP Address/Hostname IP address or hostname of your Radius server. Type of RADIUS Authentication Select an authentication protocol. PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) Note -  CHAP is generally considered more secure because the user name and password are encrypted, while in PAP they are transmitted in the clear. MS-CHAPv2 (Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) Note -  MS‑CHAPv2 provides stronger security than the above two. Selecting this option supports both MS-CHAPv1 and MS-CHAPv2. Authentication Port, Accounting Port Defaults are standard ports -- 1812 and 1813. To use non-standard ports, type a new port number. Timeout sets the maximum amount of time to establish contact with the Radius server before timing out. Type the timeout period in seconds. Retries Type the number of retries. Shared Secret, Confirm Shared Secret Necessary to protect communication with the Radius server.
