RADIUS Configuration
RADIUS servers provide additional security for networks. The RADIUS server maintains a user database, which contains
•Web Access
•Access Control Port (802.1X)
The RADIUS folder contains links described in the following sections.
•Global Configuration
•RADIUS Server Configuration
•Accounting Server Configuration
Global Configuration
Use the RADIUS Configuration screen to add information about one or more RADIUS servers on the network.
To configure global RADIUS server settings:
1. Select Security > Management Security > RADIUS > Global Configuration.
The Current Server IP Address field is blank if no servers are configured (see RADIUS Server Configuration on page 174). The switch supports up to three configured RADIUS servers. If more than one RADIUS servers are configured, the current server is the server configured as the primary server. If no servers are configured as the primary server, the current server is the most recently added RADIUS server.
2.In the Max Number of Retransmits field, specify the value of the maximum number of times a request packet is retransmitted to the RADIUS server.
Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS maximum retransmit and RADIUS timeout. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the maximum retransmit value on each will run out before the next server is attempted. A retransmit will not occur until the configured timeout value on that server has passed without a response from the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the RADIUS application equals the product of (retransmit times timeout) for all configured servers. If the RADIUS request was generated by a user login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked until the RADIUS application returns a response.
