RFC 2059 was the first RADIUS accounting standard; it was made obsolete by RFC 2139 and later RFC 2866. Note the difference between the RADIUS protocol specification (RFC 2865) and the RADIUS accounting specification (RFC 2866). Although both are IETF standards, RFC 2866 is an informational standard only, and RFC 2865 is a formal IETF standard.
RFC 3579 RADIUS & EAP September 2003 A NAS MAY authenticate local peers while at the same time acting as a pass-through for non-local peers and authentication methods it does not implement locally. A NAS implementing this specification is not required to use RADIUS to authenticate every peer. Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol, operating on port 1812, that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA or Triple A) management for users who connect and use a network service. Instructions for creating new RADIUS standards are found in the Design Guidelines document. Unfortunately, the preceding documents do not address all known issues with RADIUS. The RFCs are still ambiguous in places. There are many things which are neither forbidden nor explicitly allowed. RFC 6614 RADIUS over TLS May 2012 In TLS-X.509 mode using PKIX trust models, a client is uniquely identified by the tuple (serial number of presented client certificate;Issuer). Note well: having identified a connecting entity does not mean the server necessarily wants to communicate with that client. RFC 2865 [ 1] describes the RADIUS Protocol as it is implemented and deployed today, and RFC 2866 [ 2] describes how Accounting can be performed with RADIUS. Rigney, et al. Informational [Page 2] RFC 2869 RADIUS Extensions June 2000 This memo suggests several additional Attributes that can be added to RADIUS to perform various useful functions. The RADIUS protocol is the de facto standard for remote user authentication and it is documented in RFC 2865 and RFC 2866. RADIUS Authentication and Authorization The following diagram shows an authenticating client ("User") connecting to a Network Access Server (NAS) over a dial-up connection, using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
RadSec is a protocol for transporting RADIUS datagrams over TCP and TLS.. The RADIUS protocol is a widely deployed authentication and authorization protocol.The supplementary RADIUS Accounting specification also provides accounting mechanisms, thus delivering a full AAA protocol solution.

Configuring an RFC-3576 RADIUS Server You can configure a RADIUS server to send user disconnect, change-of-authorization (CoA), and session timeout messages as described in RFC 3576, “Dynamic Authorization Extensions to Remote Dial In User Service (RADIUS).” Jun 04, 2019 · The Cisco software supports the RADIUS CoA request defined in RFC 5176 that is used in a pushed model, in which the request originates from the external server to the device attached to the network, and enables the dynamic reconfiguring of sessions from external authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) or policy servers. Up-to-date values of the RADIUS Type field are specified in the most recent "Assigned Numbers" RFC [3]. Values 192-223 are reserved for experimental use, values 224-240 are reserved for implementation-specific use, and values 241-255 are reserved and should not be used.
The early deployment of RADIUS was done using UDP port number 1645, which conflicts with the "datametrics" service. The officially assigned port number for RADIUS is 1812. Rigney, et al. Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 2865 RADIUS June 2000 Table of Contents 1.
