Propagating RADIUS Configuration Across Switches
Fabric OS supports RADIUS authentication, authorization, and accounting service (AAA). When
configured for RADIUS, the switch becomes a Network Access Server (NAS) that acts as a RADIUS
client. In this configuration, authentication records are stored in the RADIUS host server database.
Login and logout account name, assigned role, and time accounting records are also stored on the
RADIUS server.
You can replicate RADIUS AAA configuration across multiple switches for failover purposes.
If you are using Fabric OS v3.x, you can replicate AAA configuration only to switches with version 3.2
and later. If you are using Fabric OS v4.4, you can replicate AAA configuration only to switches with
version 4.4 and later.
To replicate RADIUS configuration
1. Click Tasks > Fabric Management > Replicate AAA Configuration from the Menu bar.
The Replicate AAA Configuration wizard opens with an Overview that describes the steps you will
be performing.
