With its factory settings, the device authenticates users based on the local user management. However, as the size of a network increases, it becomes more difficult to keep the login data of the users consistent across the devices.

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) allows you to manage the users at a central location in the network. A RADIUS server performs the following tasks here:

The device forwards the users’ login data to the primary authentication server. The authentication server decides whether the login data is valid and transfers the user’s authorizations to the device.
