Accessing the switch

Configuring RADIUS on the switch (CLI example)

To configure RADIUS on the switch, do the following:

1.Turn RADIUS authentication on, and then configure the Primary and Secondary RADIUS servers. For example:

>> Main# /cfg/sys/radius

(Select the RADIUS Server menu)

>> RADIUS Server#

on

(Turn RADIUS on)

Current status: OFF

 

New status:

ON

 

 

>> RADIUS Server#

prisrv 10.10.1.1

(Enter primary server IP)

Current primary RADIUS server:

0.0.0.0

New pending primary RADIUS server: 10.10.1.1

>> RADIUS Server#

secsrv 10.10.1.2

(Enter secondary server IP)

Current secondary

RADIUS server:

0.0.0.0

New pending secondary RADIUS server: 10.10.1.2

2.Configure the primary RADIUS secret and secondary RADIUS secret.

>>

RADIUS

Server# secret

Enter

new

RADIUS secret: <1-32 character secret>

>>

RADIUS

Server# secret2

Enter

new

RADIUS second secret: <1-32 character secret>

CAUTION: If you configure the RADIUS secret using any method other than a direct console connection, the secret may be transmitted over the network as clear text.

3.If desired, you may change the default User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number used to listen to RADIUS. The well-known port for RADIUS is 1645.

>>RADIUS Server# port

Current RADIUS port: 1645

Enter new RADIUS port [1500-3000]: <UDP port number>

4.Configure the number of retry attempts for contacting the RADIUS server and the timeout period.

>>RADIUS Server# retries

Current RADIUS server retries: 3

Enter new RADIUS server retries [1-3]:<server retries> >> RADIUS Server# time

Current RADIUS server timeout: 3

Enter new RADIUS server timeout [1-10]: 10 (Enter the timeout period in seconds)

5.Apply and save the configuration.

>>RADIUS Server# apply

>>RADIUS Server# save
