Configuring Radius Logon Authentication

Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is a system that uses a central server running RADIUS software to control access to RADIUS-aware switches on the network. A RADIUS server can be used to create a database of multiple user name/password pairs with associated privilege levels for each user or group that require management access to a switch using the console port, Telnet, or Web.

Fields and Attributes

•Authentication – select the authentication type, or authentication sequence required.

•Server IP Address – the IP address of the RADIUS server.

•Server Port Number – the UDP port number used by the RADIUS server.

•Secret Text String – the text string that is shared between the switch and the RADIUS server.
