RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) enables you to use up to three servers (one primary server and one or two backups) and maintain separate authentication and accounting for each RADIUS server employed. For authentication, this allows a different password for each user instead of having to rely on maintaining and distributing switch-specific passwords to all users. For accounting, this can help you track network resource usage.

Authentication Services

You can use RADIUS to verify user identity for the following types of primary password access to the ProCurve switch:

Serial port (Console)

Telnet

SSH

SFTP/SCP

Port-Access (802.1X)

The switch also supports RADIUS accounting for Web Authentication and MAC authentication sessions.
