Chapter 49 Configuring 802.1X Port-Based Authentication
Controlling Switch Access with RADIUS
To delete the vendor-proprietary RADIUS host, use the no radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} non-standard global
configuration command. To disable the key, use the no radius-server key global configuration command.
This example shows how to specify a vendor-proprietary RADIUS host and to use a secret key of rad124 between the switch
and the server:
Switch(config)# radius-server host 172.20.30.15 nonstandard
Switch(config)# radius-server key rad124
Configuring CoA on the Switch
To configure CoA on a switch, perform these steps. This procedure is required.
Step 3
Switch(config)# radius-server key string
Specifies the shared secret text string used between
the switch and the vendor-proprietary RADIUS
server. The switch and the RADIUS server use this
text string to encrypt passwords and exchange
responses.
Note The key is a text string that must match the
encryption key used on the RADIUS server.
Leading spaces are ignored, but spaces within
and at the end of the key are used. If you use
spaces in your key, do not enclose the key in
quotation marks unless the quotation marks
are part of the key.
Step 4
Switch(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
Switch# show running-config
Verifies your settings.
Step 6
Switch# copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration
file.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Switch(config)# aaa new-model
Enables AAA.
Step 3
Switch(config)# aaa server radius
dynamic-author
Configures the switch as an authentication, authorization, and accounting
(AAA) server to facilitate interaction with an external policy server.
Step 4
Switch(config-locsvr-da-radius)#
client
{ip-address | name} [vrf
vrfname] [server-key string]
Enters dynamic authorization local server configuration mode and specify
a RADIUS client from which a device will accept CoA and disconnect
requests.
Step 5
Switch(config-locsvr-da-radius)#
server-ke
y [0 | 7] string
Configures the RADIUS key to be shared between a device and RADIUS
clients.
Step 6
Switch(config-locsvr-da-radius)#
port port-number
Specifies the port on which a device listens for RADIUS requests from
configured RADIUS clients.
Step 7
Switch(config-locsvr-da-radius)#
auth-type {any | all | session-key}
Specifies the type of authorization the switch uses for RADIUS clients.
The client must match all the configured attributes for authorization.
