Use this section to configure your RADIUS authentication settings.

Server

 

 

 

Mode

This field is only valid if you configure multiple RADIUS servers.

 

Select index-priorityand the Switch tries to authenticate with the first

 

configured RADIUS server, if the RADIUS server does not respond then

 

the Switch tries to authenticate with the second RADIUS server.

 

Select round-robinto alternate between the RADIUS servers that it

 

sends authentication requests to.

 

 

Timeout

Specify the amount of time in seconds that the Switch waits for an

 

authentication request response from the RADIUS server.

 

If you are using index-priorityfor your authentication and you are

 

using two RADIUS servers then the timeout value is divided between the

 

two RADIUS servers. For example, if you set the timeout value to 30

 

seconds, then the Switch waits for a response from the first RADIUS

 

server for 15 seconds and then tries the second RADIUS server.

 

 

Index

This is a read-only number representing a RADIUS server entry.

 

 

IP Address

Enter the IP address of an external RADIUS server in dotted decimal

 

notation.

 

 

UDP Port

The default port of a 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.

 

 

Delete

Check this box if you want to remove an existing RADIUS server entry

 

from the Switch. This entry is deleted when you click Apply.

 

 

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 begin configuring this screen afresh.
