RADIUS Authentication, Authorization, and

Accounting

Overview

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) enables you to use

up to fifteen servers and maintain separate authentication and accounting for

each RADIUS server employed. For authentication, this allows a different

password for each user instead of having to rely on maintaining and distrib-

uting switch-specific passwords to all users. For accounting, this can help you

track network resource usage.

Authentication Services

You can use RADIUS to verify user identity for the following types of primary

password access to the HP switch:

■ Serial port (Console)

■ Telnet

■ SSH

■ SFTP/SCP

■ Web Agent (8212zl, 5400zl, 4200vl, 2800s as of software version I.08.60,

and 2600s as of software version H.08.58 switches)

■ Port-Access (802.1X)
