Security Example: RADIUS Server

Consider the fabric shown in Figure 2-3. This fabric is similar to the one shown in Figure 2-2with the addition of Radius_1 acting as a RADIUS server. Authorization and authentication is passed from the switch to Radius_1 in the following cases:

HBA_1 login to Switch_1

Switch_1 login to Switch_2

Switch_2 login to Switch_1

F_Port

Device: HBA_1

 

Device: HBA_2

WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:c3:4d
