RADIUS authentication lets you identify remote users before you give them
access to a central network site. RADIUS accounting enables the server to collect
data during a remote user’s dial-in session with the client. The server can then
determine billing charges.
Figure 2-1
shows a sample network using RADIUS.

Bay Networks RADIUS Implementation
The following Bay Networks platforms can operate as RADIUS clients:
• Backbone Link Node (BLN)
• Backbone Concentrator Node (BCN)
• Access Stack Node (ASN
™
)
As a RADIUS client, the router can support accounting, authentication, or both.
The number of remote users that the client can support at one time is equal to the
number of active dial-up connections.
The client can also support a primary server, which is the original destination
server, and an alternate server, which is a server that the client contacts if it cannot
reach the primary server.
