Cisco ACS and RADIUS problem

[maksim.tocevski]

Hi all,

I'm curently studying for my CCNP Switch certfification, and I'm learning about RADIUS and AAA. I need to practice this topics, but unfortunately I can't find any way to do it. I have cisco ACS 4.2 but I'm unable to install it on my Server 2003 (it says mmc.exe needs to be closed, tried some things but no luck...). I'm unaware of any simulator for RADIUS or anything similar.

If you have any suggestions how to install ACS 4.2 on Server 2003 (how to solve the error I'm recieving), or point me towards some other product to practise RADIUS and AAA authentication, I'll be very gratefull.

Cheers,

Maxim

Hi Maksim

Why you don't use a virtual machine. You can install windows server 2003 or 2008 on it and after install the CSACS.

I hope this help...

Cheers.

You could use FreeRadius as a Radius server, and ntradping  as a radius client.
