Command Usage

RADIUS uses UDP which only offers best-effort delivery. Also, note that RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request packet from the client to the server.

RADIUS logon authentication assigns a specific privilege level for each user name and password pair. The user name, password, and privilege level must be configured on the authentication server.

You can specify two authentication methods in a single command to indicate the authentication sequence. For example, if you enter “authentication login radius local,” the user name and password on the RADIUS server is verified first. If the RADIUS server is not available, then the local user name and password is checked.

Example

Console(config)#authentication login radius

Console(config)#
