Configuration of a RADIUS server
In this section it is assumed that you know how to configure your RADIUS server. Consult your RADIUS manual
for details.
Add the Telecommuting Module as a client in the RADIUS server. Make sure that the shared secret here is the same
as in the Telecommuting Module.
The Telecommuting Module checks the permissions for a user by looking at its RADIUS attribute Service-Type. If
the Service-Type has the value Administrative (6), the user is allowed to configure the Telecommuting Module.
For the various privileges for users, there is an 3Com-specific RADIUS attribute defined thus:
VENDOR 3Com 43
ATTRIBUTE 3Com-Admin-Account 1 integer 3Com
#
# Type of administrator account.
#
VALUE 3Com-Admin-Account Full-Access-Admin 1
VALUE 3Com-Admin-Account Backup-Admin 2
VALUE 3Com-Admin-Account Read-Only-Admin 3
VALUE 3Com-Admin-Account VPN-Admin 4
VALUE 3Com-Admin-Account SIP-Admin 5
More information about RADIUS can be found in RFC 2865.
SNMP
SNMP is a network monitoring protocol, which enables a single server to monitor one or more networks, including
all network equipment like routers and firewalls. 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module supports SNMP and can
accordingly be monitored automatically.
The monitoring signaling consists of two main parts. The SNMP server sends requests to the Telecommuting
Module, which replies with a list of network parameters and their values for the Telecommuting Module. The
Telecommuting Module can also send messages (traps) without the server prompting, when someone sends a
request without valid authentication and when the Telecommuting Module boots.
The 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module can only send parameters to the server; no changes of configuration can
be made through SNMP requests.
For more information about SNMP, read RFC 1157.
General
Here, decide whether the SNMP signaling should be activated. You can also enter contact information for the
Telecommuting Module.
