Web and MAC Authentication
Setup Procedure for Web/MAC Authentication
Syntax: [no] radius-server
[host < ip-address >] [oobm]
Adds a server to the RADIUS configuration or (with no)
deletes a server from the configuration. You can config-
ure up to three RADIUS server addresses. The switch uses
the first server it successfully accesses. (Refer to
“RADIUS Authentication, Authorization, and Account-
ing” on page 6-1.)
For switches that have a separate out-of-band manage-
ment port, the oobm parameter specifies that the RADIUS
traffic will go through the out-of-band management
(OOBM) port.
[key < global-key-string >]
Specifies the global encryption key the switch uses with
servers for which the switch does not have a server-
specific key assignment (below). This key is optional if
all RADIUS server addresses configured in the switch
include a server-specific encryption key. The tilde (~)
character is allowed in the string, for example, radius-
server key hp~network. It is not backward compatible; the
“~” character is lost if you use a software version that
does not support the “~” character.
(Default: Null.)
Syntax: radius-server host < ip-address > key <server-specific key-string>
[no] radius-server host < ip-address > key
Optional. Specifies an encryption key for use during
authentication (or accounting) sessions with the speci-
fied server. This key must match the encryption key used
on the RADIUS server. Use this command only if the
specified server requires a different encryption key than
configured for the global encryption key, above. The tilde
(~) character is allowed in the string. It is not backward
compatible; the “~” character is lost if you use a software
version that does not support the “~” character.
The no form of the command removes the key configured
for a specific server.
