Configuring the switch 120
Table 94 Switch RADIUS Configuration controls
Control Description
Enable/Disable Radius Backdoor for telnet Enables or disables the RADIUS backdoor for telnet. Telnet also applies to
SSH/SCP/HTTP/HTTPS connections.
Enable/Disable Radius Secure Backdoor for
telnet
Enables or disables the RADIUS back door using secure password for
telnet/SSH/ HTTP/HTTPS.
Radius Secret Defines the shared secret (up to 32 characters) between the switch and the
RADIUS server(s).
Secondary Radius Server Secret Defines the secondary shared secret (up to 32 characters) between the
switch and the Radius server(s).
IMPORTANT: If RADIUS is enabled, you must login using RADIUS authentication when connecting via the
console or Telnet/SSH/HTTP/HTTPS. Backdoor for console is always enabled, so you can connect using
noradius and the administrator password even if the backdoor (telnet) or secure backdoor (secbd) are
disabled.
If Telnet backdoor is enabled (telnet ena), type in noradius as a backdoor to bypass RADIUS checking,
and use the administrator password to log into the switch. The switch allows this even if RADIUS servers are
available.
If secure backdoor is enabled (secbd ena), type in noradius as a backdoor to bypass RADIUS checking,
and use the administrator password to log into the switch. The switch allows this only if RADIUS servers are not
available.
