Chapter9 Configuring Switch-Ba sed Authentication Controlling Switch Access with RADIUS
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to specify a vendor-proprietary RADIUS ser ver
host and a shared secret text string:
To delete the vendor-proprietary RADIUS host, use the no radius-server host {hostname | ip-address}
non-standard global configuration command. To disable the key, use the no radius-server key global
configuration command.
This example shows how to specify a vendor-proprietary RADIUS host and to use a secret key of rad124
between the switch and the server:
Switch(config)# radius-server host 172.20.30.15 nonstandard
Switch(config)# radius-server key rad124
Displaying the RADIUS Configuration
To display the RADIUS configuration, use the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} non-standard Specify the IP address or host name of the remote
RADIUS server host and identify that it is using a
vendor-proprietary implementation of RADIUS.
Step3 radius-server key string Specify the shared secret text string used between the
switch and the vendor-proprietary RADIUS server.
The switch and the RADIUS server use this text
string to encrypt passwords and exchange responses.
Note The key is a text string that must match the
encryption key used on the RADIUS server.
Leading spaces are ignored, but spaces within
and at the end of the key are used. If you use
spaces in your key, do not enclose the key in
quotation marks unless the quotation marks
are part of the key.
Step4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step5 show running-config Verify your settings.
Step6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
