Configuring RADIUS security
You can use a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server to secure the following
types of access to the device:
• Telnet access
• SSH access
• Web management access
• Access to the Privileged EXEC level and CONFIG levels of the CLI
NOTE
The BigIron RX does not support RADIUS security for SNMP (IronView Network Manager) access.
RADIUS authentication, authorization, and accounting
When RADIUS authentication is implemented, the BigIron RX consults a RADIUS server to verify
user names and passwords. You can optionally configure RADIUS authorization, in which the
BigIron RX consults a list of commands supplied by the RADIUS server to determine whether a user
can execute a command he or she has entered, as well as accounting, which causes the device to
log information on a RADIUS accounting server when specified events occur on the device.
NOTE
By default, a user logging into the device through Telnet or SSH first enters the User EXEC level. The
user can then enter the enable command to get to the Privileged EXEC level.
A user that is successfully authenticated can be automatically placed at the Privileged EXEC level
after login. Refer to “Entering privileged EXEC mode after a Telnet or SSH login” on page 106.
