Description
The Set-VpnAuthType cmdlet is only used to toggle from one authentication type to another. This cmdlet cannot be used to explicitly add any additional RADIUS servers if RADIUS authentication is being used.
-- The parameters for RADIUS authentication properties, such as the MsgAuthenticator, RadiusPort, RadiusScore, RadiusServer, RadiusTimeout and SharedSecret parameters, are applicable only when the ExternalRadius authentication is configured.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Set-VpnAuthType -Type "ExternalRadius" -RadiusServer "10.1.1.1" -SharedSecret "s3cr3t" -PassThru
Type : ExternalRadius
RadiusServerList : {10.1.1.1}
This example sets the VPN authentication type to be ExternalRadius. A RADIUS server is specified along with the shared secret required to communicate with that RADIUS server.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\>Set-VpnAuthType -Type "Windows" -PassThru
Type : Windows
RadiusServerList :
This example sets the VPN authentication type to be Windows, which causes authentication to happen on the Remote Access server computer.

CimInstance
CimInstance
The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects.
The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
The VpnAuth object consists of the following properties:
-- Authentication type: Windows or ExternalRadius.
-- Configured RADIUS servers: If external RADIUS authentication was set, then the configured RADIUS servers are displayed.
