a Locate the existing file clients.conf in /usr/local/etc/raddb
b Add an entry in clients.conf for the Switch 5500G-EI you wish to administer.
For example:
client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx {
secret = a-shared-secret
shortname = a-short-name
}
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the 3Com Switch 5500G-EI.

a In /usr/local/etc/raddb create a new file called dictionary.3Com
containing the following information:
VENDOR 3Com 43
ATTRIBUTE 3Com-User-Access-Level 1 Integer 3Com
VALUE 3Com-User-Access-Level Monitor 1
VALUE 3Com-User-Access-Level Manager 2
