Configuring SSR Access Security

Chapter 10: Security Configuration Guide

Configure RADIUS

You can secure login or Enable mode access to the SSR by enabling a Remote Authentication Dial-In Service (RADIUS) client. A RADIUS server responds to the SSR RADIUS client to provide authentication.

You can configure up to five RADIUS server targets on the SSR. A timeout is set to tell the SSR how long to wait for a response from RADIUS servers.

To configure RADIUS security, enter the following commands in Configure mode:

Specify a RADIUS server.	radius set host <hostname or IP-addr>

Set the RADIUS time to wait for a	radius set timeout <number>
RADIUS server reply.

Determine the SSR action if no	radius set last-resort passwordsucceed
server responds.

Enable RADIUS.	radius enable

Monitor RADIUS

You can monitor RADIUS configuration and statistics within the SSR.

To monitor RADIUS, enter the following commands in Enable mode:

Show RADIUS server statistics.	radius	show	stats

Show all RADIUS parameters.	radius	show	all

Configure TACACS

In addition, Enable mode access to the SSR can be made secure by enabling a Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS) client. Without TACACS, TACACS Plus, or RADIUS enabled, only local password authentication is performed on the SSR. The TACACS client provides user name and password authentication for Enable mode. A TACACS server responds to the SSR TACACS client to provide authentication.

You can configure up to five TACACS server targets on the SSR. A timeout is set to tell the SSR how long to wait for a response from TACACS servers.
