Configuring Communication with RADIUS 481

Setting the System IP Address as the Source Address

By default, RADIUS packets leaving the WSS switch have the source IP address of the outbound interface on the switch. This source address can change when routing conditions change. If you have set a system IP address for the WSS switch, you can use it as a permanent source address for the RADIUS packets sent by the switch.

To set the WSS system IP address as the address of the RADIUS client, type the following command:

23x0# set radius client system-ip

success: change accepted.

To remove the WSS switch’s system IP address from use as the source address in RADIUS client requests from the switch to its RADIUS server(s), type the following command:

23x0# clear radius client system-ip

success: change accepted.

The command causes the WSS to select a source interface address based on information in its routing table as the RADIUS client address.
