Usage The radius commands configure parameters used to communicate with an existing network
RADIUS server. The RADIUS server is a key component of 802.1X WLAN security, as it
provides access management by checking an access list to authenticate a user that attempts to
join the WLAN. Many sites configure a primary and secondary RADIUS server to ensure the
continued availability of the authentication service, should the primary server become
unavailable.
The RADIUS server IP address must be specified, as well as a shared secret and port number.
Other configuration parameters set with command determine the amount of time a key is valid
before it is automatically changed, and the amount of time clients are allowed to connect to
the Radio Switch before they must reauthenticate themselves.
Examples The following commands set the primary RADIUS server IP address to 10.0.0.30, with a
shared secret of 2for10is, and port 1812.
# set radius primary_ip 10.0.0.30
# set radius primary_secret 2for10is
# set radius primary_port 1812

primary_port port_number
secondary_port port_number
