When to Use

To configure the Radius client in the switch to restrict access to the management functions of the Local Management screens, by way of the COM port or network TELNET connection.

NOTE: The configuration and Enable State of the Radius client will be stored in NVRAM and loaded on power-up. If the client is properly configured and enabled, the platform will create the Radius client and enable it at boot time, superseding legacy authentication. Otherwise, the legacy authentication becomes operational.

Radius Client parameters can also be set using the Network Tools screen described in

Chapter 11.

This screen allows you to set the necessary parameters to centralize the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting of the network resources. For information about Radius Client and how it functions, refer to Section 3.4 and Section 3.4.1.
