Authentication When RADIUS Servers Do Not Respond

This scenario illustrates how to enable RADIUS authentication for both console and administrative users, but to uncon- ditionally allow access for administrative and console users if the RADIUS server (in this case, server r1 in server group sg1) does not respond. To configure unconditional authentication, Natasha sets the authentication method to none. She types the following commands in this order:

23x0# set user natasha password m@Jor User natasha created

23x0# set radius server r1 address 192.168.253.1 key sunFLOW#$ success: change accepted.

23x0# set server group sg1 members r1 success: change accepted.

23x0# set authentication console * sg1 none success: change accepted.

23x0# set authentication admin * sg1 none success: change accepted.

23x0# save config

success: configuration saved.
