Configure Clients

Configure Clients option allows you to configure Radius clients from NMS.

NOTE: If the Radius license has been enabled, user must first configure the Radius server in NMS followed by adding the EMS(s) to NMS. The added EMS(s) will automatically configure Radius in case of successful Radius configuration. If this process is not followed, the user might not be able to add Radius client and an error message Radius Client Configuration Failed will get displayed.

Perform the following steps to configure Radius clients from NMS:

1. Go to Administration > Radius menu and click Configure Clients option. Configure Clients window is displayed.

   User can configure the clients for radius by submitting the EMS name or subnet of nodes.

   

2. To configure EMS as client, do the following steps:
   1. Select Configure EMS(s) check box.
   2. Select the EMS name from EMS List and click Submit. A success message is displayed and the EMS name appears in EMS under Registered Clients.
3. For radius authentication to work on any node, the subnet of that node should be registered in radius clients. To configure the subnet of node,
   1. Select Configure Subnet(s) check box.
   2. Enter Subnet value.
   3. Enter Secret value (same secret value must be configured at node).
   4. Enter Name (any short name can be given).
   5. Click (Add Subnet and Secret to List). The node subnet gets added in Subnet(s) List in format - IP|shortname|secret.
4. Click Submit. A success message is displayed and the subnet gets added in Subnet(s) under Registered Clients.

All nodes under registered subnet will be authenticated, provided radius is configured with same secret at node side also.
