Web and MAC Authentication

Configuring the Switch To Access a RADIUS Server

Syntax: radius-server host < ip-address> key <server-specifickey-string> [no] radius-server host < ip-address> key

Optional. Specifies an encryption key for use during authentication (or accounting) sessions with the specified server. This key must match the encryption key used on the RADIUS server. Use this command only if the specified server requires a different encryption key than configured for the global encryption key, above.

The no form of the command removes the key configured for a specific server.

For example, to configure the switch to access a RADIUS server at IP address 192.168.32.11 using a server-specific shared secret key of ‘2Pzo22’

ProCurve(config)# radius-server host 192.168.32.11 key 2Pzo22

ProCurve(config)# show radius
