Configuring the RADIUS Server
The configuration is chassis-based, so it applies to all logical switches (domains) on the switch and
replicates itself on a standby CP, if one is present. It is saved in a configuration upload, and so it 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 will assume service.
You can configure the RADIUS server even if it is disabled. You can configure up to five RADIUS
servers. You must be logged in as admin or switchAdmin to configure the RADIUS server.
To configure the RADIUS server
1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 4-3.
2. Click the AAA Service tab.
3. Click Add. You can configure up to five RADIUS servers. If five RADIUS servers are already
configured, the Add button is disabled.
The RADIUS Configuration dialog displays.
4. Type the RADIUS server name, which is a valid IP address or Dynamic Name Server (DNS) string.
Each RADIUS server must have a unique IP address or DNS name for the RADIUS server.
5. Optional: Type the port number.
6. Optional: Type the secret string.
7. Optional: Type the timeout time in minutes.
8. Optional: Select an authentication protocol from CHAP or PAP. The default value is CHAP, and if
you do not change it, CHAP will be the authentication protocol.
