User Manual for the NETGEAR 7200 Series Layer 2 Managed Switch Software

config radius server primary

This command specifies which configured server should be the primary server for this RADIUS client. The primary is the server that is used by default for handling RADIUS requests. The remaining configured servers are used only if the primary server cannot be reached. A maximum of three servers can be configured on each client. Only one server can be configured as the primary server. If a primary server is currently configured and this command is issued, the server specified by the IP address used in this command will become the new primary server. The IP address specified must match that of a configured server.

Format

config radius server primary <ipaddr>

config radius server msgauth

This command enables or disables the message authenticator attribute for the specified RADIUS server. Enabling the message authenticator attribute provides additional security in the connection between the RADIUS client and the RADIUS server. Some RADIUS servers require enabling the message authenticator attribute for authentication requests from the RADIUS client to be accepted. The IP address specified must match that of a configured server.

Format
