Enhancements in Release F.04.08

Configuring RADIUS Authentication and Accounting

For example, suppose you have already configured local passwords on the switch, but want to use RADIUS to protect primary Telnet and SSH access without allowing a secondary Telnet or SSH access option (which would be the switch’s local passwords):

The switch now allows Telnet and SSH authentication only through RADIUS.

Figure 42. Example Configuration for RADIUS Authentication

Note

In the above example, if you configure the Login Primary method as local instead of radius (and local passwords are configured on the switch), then you can gain access to either the Operator or Manager level without encountering the RADIUS authentication specified for Enable Primary. Refer to “Local Authentication Process” on page 113.
