| + | |
| + | In this example we will perform a basic external Radius server configuration and test it with RUT device for Hotspot authentication. We will use ''freeradius'' package to set up a local Radius server on Ubuntu operating system. A router with a public IP address will be directly connected to the Radius server and forward authentication requests to a LAN IP address of the server via default Radius ports. |

| + | ==Prerequisites== |
| + | |
| + | *RUT1 - Router with a Public IP address to make local server able to accept external authentication requests |
| + | *Ubuntu machine - To host a local freeradius server |
| + | *RUT2 - To configure Hotspot and test Radius authentication method using our installed server |
