Creating a Dial Access Profile Object

Each Dial Access Profile object defines the common attributes of a service used by one or more dial-in users. This simplifies administration by eliminating the need to configure the attributes of each user. You can define as many profiles as required to define different services. For example, you can create a Telnet profile that enables users to connect a terminal server to a host. You can also create a Telnet profile that enables users to connect to a host using a terminal or a terminal emulation program.

The Dial Access Profile object contains a list of RADIUS attributes that specify the configuration for creating a specific service.
