In a network with many Avaya switches, configuring user accounts on each of the switches can be time-consuming.You can centralize the user accounts by using a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server.
RADIUS is a service that authenticates users when they attempt to log in to a Network Access Device (NAD) such as an Avaya switch. RADIUS typically runs on a Windows or Linux server; however, it can run on other platforms as well depending on the vendor.
Note: RADIUS supports a maximum of 27 characters for user names. If you use a RADIUS server to authenticate users, their switch user names must not exceed 27 characters, regardless of the 31-character maximum of the P580 and P882.
