Quick-Start Guide for Nortel Networks 5399 and 8000 Access Switches

RADIUS Security

With the RADIUS server up and running, find out the service ports that the RADIUS server is using. The service ports will usually be 1645/udp for authentication and 1646/udp for accounting. To set up RADIUS security:

1.Log on to the RAC as superuser and run admin. Enable security on the RAC by entering:

admin: set annex enable_security y

2.Configure the RADIUS host.

a.Set the RAC’s RADIUS host.

admin: set annex pref_secure1_host <ip addr of radius host>

b.Set the RAC’s service port for authentication on the RADIUS host. admin: set annex radius_auth1_port <1645 or 1812>

c.Set the RAC’s accounting host.

admin: set annex radius_acct1_host <ip addr of radius acct1 host>

d.Set the RAC’s service port for accounting on the RADIUS acct1 host. admin: set annex radius_acct1_port <1646 or 1813>

e.Set the authentication protocol on the RAC. admin: set annex auth_protocol radius

3.Enable the RADIUS client on the RAC. admin: set annex enable_radius_acct y

Note: The secret entries made in Steps 6 and 7 must be made in the clients file on the RADIUS server for the RAC with the same <secret>.

4.Set the secret authentication password that is shared between the RADIUS host and the RAC.

admin: set annex radius_auth1_secret <secret>

5.Set the secret accounting password that is shared between the RADIUS host and the RAC.

6.admin: set annex radius_acct1_secret <secret>
