Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Chapter: Configuring the RADIUS Client
Configuring the RADIUS Client
Introduction
This chapter describes the configuration procedure for a RADIUS client.
Configuring the RADIUS Client
The RADIUS clients are needed to send RADIUS messages to the RADIUS listener and must be configured to do so.
Step 1 
Configure the subscriber manager (SM) machine as the destination of accounting messages.
You must configure the following parameters:
•SM IP address
•UDP ports to which the RADIUS listener listens
•Shared secret configured for this client in the SM configuration file
Step 2 Verify that the Accounting-Start message is sent with the correct attributes.
•Attributes configured in the subscriber ID attribute mapping in the SM configuration file. See Mapping of RADIUS Attribute to Subscriber ID.
•Attributes configured in the subscriber IP address attribute mapping in the SM configuration file, the Framed-Route or the Framed-IP-Address. See Mapping of RADIUS Attribute to Subscriber IP Address.
•(Optional) Attributes configured in the Subscriber package attribute mapping in the SM configuration file. See Mapping of RADIUS Attribute to Subscriber Policy.
Step 3 Verify that the Accounting-Stop message is sent with the correct attributes.
•Attributes configured in the subscriber ID attribute mapping in the SM configuration file. See Mapping of RADIUS Attribute to Subscriber ID.
•Attributes configured in the subscriber IP address attribute mapping in the SM configuration file, the Framed-Route or the Framed-IP-Address. See Mapping of RADIUS Attribute to Subscriber IP Address.
Note It is recommended that you configure the RADIUS client to not send Authentication and Accounting-Intermediate messages to the SM to reduce the load of packet handling.
