The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 38 Configuration
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
State | Select Enable to use the web authentication feature. |
|
|
Method | Select whether to use Local or RADIUS as the authentication method. |
| The Local method of authentication uses the user and guest user groups |
| of the user account database on the Switch to authenticate. However, |
| only a certain number of accounts can exist at one time. |
| RADIUS is a security protocol used to authenticate users by means of |
| an external server instead of an internal device user database that is |
| limited to the memory capacity of the device. In essence, RADIUS allows |
| you to validate an unlimited number of users from a central location. |
|
|
Radius Server | When RADIUS is selected as the authentication method, this Radius |
| Server will be used for all web authentication attempts. |
|
|
IP | Enter the IP address of an external RADIUS server in dotted decimal |
| notation. |
|
|
UDP Port | Enter the UDP port of the RADIUS server. The default port of a RADIUS |
| server for authentication is 1812. |
|
|
Shared Key | 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. |
|
|
User Name | Specify a username for the main guest account. This will only be used |
| when the Local method of authentication has been selected. |
|
|
User Password | Specify a password for the main guest account. This will only be used |
| when the Local method of authentication has been selected. |
|
