ELTEX MES53xx User Manual

MES53xx, MES33xx, MES23xx Ethernet Switch Series 123
7.4.2 RADIUS

database that contains authentication data for each user. Thus, RADIUS provides more secure access to
network resources and the switch itself.

Add the selected server into the list of RADIUS servers used.
- ip_address - IPv4 or IPv6 address of the RADIUS server;
- hostname - RADIUS server network name;
- auth_port - port number for sending authentication data;
- acct_port - port number for sending accounting data;
- timeout - server response timeout;
- retries - number of attempts to search for a RADIUS server;
- time - time in minutes the RADIUS client of the switch will
not poll unavailable servers;
- secret_key - authentication and encryption key for RADIUS
data exchange;
- priority - RADIUS server priority (the lower the value, the
higher the server priority);
- type - the type of usage of the RADIUS server
- encrypted – set the key in the encrypted form.
