1.8 Troubleshooting AAA & RADIUS & HWTACACS
Configuration
1.8.1 Troubleshooting RADIUS Configuration
The RADIUS protocol operates at the application layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite.
This protocol prescribes how the switch and the RADIUS server of the ISP exchange
user information with each other.
Symptom 1: User authentication/authorization always fails.
Possible reasons and solutions:
z The user name is not in the userid@isp-name format, or the default ISP domain is
not correctly specified on the switch — Use the correct user name format, or set a
default ISP domain on the switch.
z The user is not configured in the database of the RADIUS server — Check the
database of the RADIUS server, make sure that the configuration information
about the user exists.
z The user input an incorrect password — Be sure to input the correct password.
z The switch and the RADIUS server have different shared keys — Compare the
shared keys at the two ends, make sure they are identical.
z The switch cannot communicate with the RADIUS server (you can determine by
pinging the RADIUS server from the switch) — Take measures to make the switch
communicate with the RADIUS server normally.
Symptom 2: RADIUS packets cannot be sent to the RADIUS server.
