NOTE
To disable RADIUS, select Switch Database from the Primary AAA Service menu and select
None from the Secondary AAA Service menu.
5. Click Apply.
Configuring RADIUS
The configuration is chassis-based, so it applies to all logical switches (domains) on the switch and
it is replicated on a standby CP, if one is present. It is saved in a configuration upload, and can be
applied to other switches in a configuration download. You should configure at least two RADIUS
servers so that if one fails, the other server assumes the service.
You can configure RADIUS even if it is disabled. You can configure up to five RADIUS servers. You
must be logged in as admin, switchadmin, or securityadmin to configure RADIUS.
To configure RADIUS, perform the following steps..
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described in “Opening the Switch Administration
window” on page 33.
2. Select the AAA Service tab.
3. Click Add.
The RADIUS Configuration dialog box displays. You can configure up to five RADIUS servers. If
five RADIUS servers are already configured, the Add button is disabled.
4. Enter the RADIUS server name, as a valid IP address (in either IPv4 or IPv6 format) or Dynamic
Name Server (DNS) string.
Each RADIUS server must have a unique IP address or DNS name for the RADIUS server.
5. Enter the port number.
6. Enter the secret string.
7. Enter the timeout time in minutes.
8. Select either CHAP or PAP as the authentication protocol.
The default value is CHAP, and if you do not change it, CHAP becomes the authentication
protocol.
9. Click OK to return to the AAA Service tab.
10. Click Apply.
Modifying the RADIUS server
To change the parameters of a RADIUS server that is already configured, perform the following
steps.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described in “Opening the Switch Administration
window” on page 33.
2. Select the AAA Service tab.
3. Select a RADIUS server from the RADIUS Configuration list.
