The previous tutorials covered the basics of AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) in Cisco devices. It included an overview of how to configure local authentication, where user credentials are stored directly on each device. We also discussed the principles of using an external authentication server to centralize user credentials and authentication processes, laying the groundwork for a RADIUS server setup with PocketCLI. Understanding these concepts is crucial as we move forward to implementing RADIUS for centralized authentication.

In a Cisco environment, a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server is commonly used to authenticate users for various network services, one of which is network access. This lab introduces using a RADIUS server to allows for centralized user authentication. Instead of maintaining separate user accounts and authentication databases on each network device. All authentication requests are sent to the RADIUS server. This centralization simplifies administration and ensures consistent authentication across the network.
