9Click OK to schedule the bulk configuration operation to start later in the evening. When the bulk configuration operation runs, it will attempt to configure the user accounts of all supported 3Com devices on the network according to the user accounts defined in the configuration template.

It is strongly recommended that any unsupported 3Com or 3rd party devices on the network are manually configured to suit the applicable network security policy.

Configuring Network There is a requirement to provide a hot-desking area for the use of Login location independent workers at your site. Because the hot-desking area

is easily accessible, it has been decided to use the Network Login feature of the 3Com Switch 4400 devices to authenticate users in this area prior to allowing them access to the company network. Primary and backup RADIUS authentication and accounting servers have already been set up to provide the necessary authentication service, and now it is necessary to configure the network switches to implement network login. To do this the switches must first be configured with the details of the RADIUS servers:

1Ensure that the Switch 4400 devices that provide the network connections for the new hot-desking area are present in the current map. If necessary run a network discovery. See “Launching a discovery” on page 106.

2Launch the Configuration Editor dialog box using the Switch Devices option from the Device > Configure menu.

3Click the RADIUS Servers feature in the configuration summary tree and enable the authentication and accounting server attributes in the feature pane, as shown in Figure 340.
