Administrative AAA Configuration Scenarios

63

Natasha also adds the RADIUS server (r1) to the RADIUS server group sg1, and configures Telnet administrative users for authentication through the group. She types the following commands in this order:

WX1200# set server group sg1 members r1 success: change accepted.

WX1200# set user admin attr service-type 6 success: change accepted.

WX1200# set authentication admin * sg1 success: change accepted.

WX1200# save config

success: configuration saved.

If the service-type is not set to 6 (Administrative), the user will not be able to enter “enable” mode commands.

Authentication When This scenario illustrates how to enable RADIUS authentication for both RADIUS Servers Do console and administrative users, but to unconditionally allow access for

Not Respond administrative and console users if the RADIUS server (in this case, server r1 in server group sg1) does not respond. To configure unconditional authentication, Natasha sets the authentication method to none. She types the following commands in this order:

WX1200# set user natasha password m@Jor User natasha created

WX1200# set radius server r1 address 192.168.253.1 key sunFLOW#$

success: change accepted.

WX1200# set server group sg1 members r1 success: change accepted.

WX1200# set authentication console * sg1 none success: change accepted.

WX1200# set user admin attr service-type 6 success: change accepted.

WX1200# set authentication admin * sg1 none success: change accepted.

WX1200# save config

success: configuration saved.
