RADIUS configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 354, an 802.1X user logs in to the switch from the host. Configure the switch to implement RADIUS authentication and accounting for the 802.1X user. RADIUS accounting records the online duration of the 802.1X user.

Configure RADIUS servers on CAMS or IMC to use the default port for authentication and accounting. The 802.1X user's username and password and the shared key expert are configured for packet exchange with the switch.

On the switch, configure the shared key for packet exchange with the RADIUS server as expert, and configure the system to remove the domain name of a username before sending it to the RADIUS server.

On the switch, enable the Telnet server function, and configure the switch to use AAA for authentication, authorization and accounting of Telnet users.
