Configuring RADIUS servers on the switch
RADIUS configuration of the switch is controlled by the aaaConfig command.
NOTE: On dual-CP switches (SAN Director 2/128 and 4/256 SAN Director), the switch sends its
RADIUS request using the IP address of the active CP. When adding clients, add both the active and
standby CP IP addresses so that users can still log in the event of a failover.
The following procedures show how to use the aaaConfig command to set up a switch for RADIUS
service.
RADIUS configuration is chassis-based configuration data. On platforms containing multiple switch
instances, the configuration applies to all instances. The configuration is persistent across reboot and
firmwareDownload. On a chassis-based system, the command must replicate the configuration to the
standby CP.
Multiple login sessions can invoke the command simultaneously. The last session that applies the change
be the one whose configuration is in effect. This configuration is persistent after an HA failover.
How to display the current RADIUS configuration
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
