RADIUS Authentication and Accounting

Configuring the Switch for RADIUS Authentication

For example, suppose you have configured the switch as shown in figure 5-3and you now need to make the following changes:

1.Change the encryption key for the server at 10.33.18.127 to “source0127”.

2.Add a RADIUS server with an IP address of 10.33.18.119 and a server- specific encryption key of “source0119”.

Figure 5-3. Sample Configuration for RADIUS Server Before Changing the Key and Adding Another Server

To make the changes listed prior to figure 5-3,you would do the following:

Changes the key for the existing server to “source0127”

Adds the new RADIUS server with its required “source0119” key.

Lists the switch’s new RADIUS server configuration. Compare this with

Figure 5-4. Sample Configuration for RADIUS Server After Changing the Key and Adding Another Server

To change the order in which the switch accesses RADIUS servers, refer to “Changing RADIUS-Server Access Order” on page 5-30.
