Chapter 16 Configuring Security for the ML-Series Card

RADIUS Stand Alone Mode

 

Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

Router (config)# radius-server key string

Specify the shared secret text string used between the

 

 

ML-Series card and the vendor-proprietary RADIUS

 

 

server. The ML-Series card 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.

Step 4

 

 

Router (config)# end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

 

 

Router# show running-config

Verify your settings.

Step 6

 

 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

To delete the vendor-proprietary RADIUS host, use the no radius-server host {hostname ip-address} non-standardglobal 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 ML-Series card 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-configprivileged EXEC command.

ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA, Cisco ONS 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and among its impressive lineup of products, the Cisco ONS 15310 series stands out as an essential solution for optical networking. This series includes models such as the ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL, and ONS 15310-CA, each designed to meet the diverse needs of service providers and enterprises seeking to enhance their optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is an advanced multi-service platform designed for metropolitan area networks. It facilitates the seamless transport of data, voice, and video over optical networks. One of its main features is its ability to support a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allowing users to integrate multiple services into a single platform. Additionally, the ONS 15310-MA supports advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance.

The ONS 15310-CL variant is tailored for more specific applications, providing enhanced capabilities aimed at delivering carrier-grade services. It features a robust architecture that accommodates high-capacity traffic without compromising reliability. This model emphasizes low power consumption and a compact design, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments. The ONS 15310-CL also supports a wide range of optical interfaces, making it highly flexible for various network configurations.

In terms of technologies, the Cisco ONS 15310 series leverages Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities, providing high efficiency and greater bandwidth utilization. OTN technology enables efficient error correction and adds resilience to the network through its built-in protection mechanisms. Furthermore, the series supports seamless integration with existing IP/MPLS networks, creating a cohesive infrastructure as organizations evolve their networking requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the ONS 15310 series is its focus on scalability. Network operators can start with a modest deployment and gradually expand capacity as demand grows. This adaptability is complemented by Cisco's comprehensive management and monitoring tools, providing operators with real-time insights into network performance and facilitating proactive management.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA and ONS 15310-CL models represent sophisticated solutions for modern optical networks. With their versatile features, advanced technologies, and robust design, they empower service providers and enterprises to build resilient, high-capacity networks that meet the demands of today’s data-driven world.
