DESCRIPTION

 

 

Authentication Server

 

 

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the external RADIUS server in dotted decimal notation.

 

 

UDP Port

The default port of the RADIUS server for authentication is 1812. You need not

 

change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.

Shared Secret

Specify a password (up to 32 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

 

between the external RADIUS server and the switch. This key is not sent over the

 

network. This key must be the same on the external RADIUS server and the switch.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the switch’s run-time memory. The switch loses

 

these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top

 

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are

 

done configuring.

Cancel

Click Cancel to reset the fields.
