Toolpack: Enabling and Configuring RADIUS

Applies to version(s): v2.9

This article describes how to enable and configure a TMG system to capture Call Detail Records (CDRs), using a RADIUS server.

Enabling RADIUS

1- Select Gateway from the navigation panel.

2- Verify that the box Use CDR behavior is checked.

3- Configure the CDR behavior in the CDR Options section:

• Enable periodic CDR update will add one entry in the CDR per Periodic CDR update time, in minutes.
• Select one of the RADIUS CDR mode from the CDR Mode :
  • Text CDR only: Will store the CDRs in a flat file. See Text CDR
  • RADIUS CDR only: Will send the CDR to an external RADIUS Server. See Radius CDR
  • Text and RADIUS CDR: Will store the CDRs in a flat file and send the CDR to an external RADIUS Server.
  • RADIUS CDR with Text CDR Fallback: Will send the CDR to an external RADIUS Server and if the RADIUS server cannot handle the load of CDRs, they will be stored in a flat file.
• Click Save to save your changes.

4- Verify that the Gateway configuration was successfully updated. message appears.
