Table 65 RADIUS Server Configuration Menu options
Command
Description
prisrv <IP address>
Sets the primary RADIUS server address.
secsrv <IP address>
Sets the secondary RADIUS server address.
secret <1-32 characters> |none
This is the shared secret between the switch and the RADIUS
server(s).
secret2 <1-32 characters>
|none
This is the secondary shared secret between the switch and the
RADIUS server(s).
port <UDP port number>
Enter the number of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port to be
configured, between 1500-3000. The default is 1645.
retries <1-3>
Sets the number of failed authentication requests before switching to a
different RADIUS server. The range is 1-3 requests The default is 3
requests.
timeout <1-10>
Sets the amount of time, in seconds, before a RADIUS server
authentication attempt is considered to have failed. The range is 1-10
seconds. The default is 3 seconds.
telnet enable|disable
Enables or disables the RADIUS back door for telnet/SSH/
HTTP/HTTPS. The default value is disabled. This command does not
apply when secure backdoor (secbd) is enabled.
secbd enable|disable
Enables or disables the RADIUS back door using secure password for
telnet/SSH/ HTTP/HTTPS. The default value is disabled. This
command does not apply when backdoor (telnet) is enabled.
on
Enables the RADIUS server.
off
Disables the RADIUS server. This is the default.
cur
Displays the current RADIUS server parameters.
IMPORTANT: If RADIUS is enabled, you must login using RADIUS authentication when connecting via the
console or Telnet/SSH/HTTP/HTTPS. Backdoor for console is always enabled, so you can connect using
noradius and the administrator password even if the backdoor (telnet) or secure backdoor (secbd) are
disabled.
If Telnet backdoor is enabled (telnet ena), type in noradius as a backdoor to bypass RADIUS checking,
and use the administrator password to log into the switch. The switch allows this even if RADIUS servers are
available.
If secure backdoor is enabled (secbd ena), type in noradius as a backdoor to bypass RADIUS checking,
and use the administrator password to log into the switch. The switch allows this only if RADIUS servers are
not available.

TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) is an authentication protocol that allows a remote
access server to forward a user's logon password to an authentication server to determine whether access can be
allowed to a given system. TACACS+ and Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocols are
more secure than the TACACS encryption protocol. TACACS+ is described in RFC 1492.
