Many parameters are possible with RADIUS authentications given the many methods in use worldwide. Many of the EAP methods have configuration options described below.

RADIUS Attribute	Description
nas-identifier	Unique NAS Id used with RADIUS server
chargeable-user-id	Chargeable User Entity per RFC4372
local	Local RADIUS within AP device server-identity users - Local EAP users based on username, PreShared Key and VLAN id
authentication	RADIUS server host IP address port ( example 1812) secret ( Shared secret with RADIUS server ) Additional methods within Access-Request request-attribute ( id of RADIUS server ) id ( numeric value of RADIUS server ) value Any sub-value defined as integer RADIUS attribute value
accounting	RADIUS server host IP address port ( example 1813) secret ( Shared secret with RADIUS server ) Additional methods within Access-Request sent in Accounting request-attribute ( id of RADIUS server ) id ( numeric value of RADIUS server ) value Any sub-value defined as integer RADIUS attribute value
accounting	interval ( Interim accounting interval defined in seconds )
