Realms

A realm provides a mechanism by which a RADIUS manager can organize user accounts. Consult the RADIUS vendor documentation for information on how to create realms on the server. Once created, user accounts are placed in the realms. The realm name is also configured on the NADs and when the NADs send Access-Request messages, the user name is appended with an ampersand (@) and the realm name.

For example: User Bob in AvayaRealm logs in to the switch as Bob. The Avaya switch sends an Access-Request message for user Bob@AvayaRealm. The RADIUS server, upon receiving the request, searches for Bob in the AvayaRealm.
