RADIUS Authentication and Accounting

Overview

Note The switch does not support RADIUS security for SNMP (network manage-

ment) access. For information on blocking access through the web browser

interface, refer to “Controlling Web Browser Interface Access” on page 5-25.

Accounting Services

RADIUS accounting on the switch collects resource consumption data and

forwards it to the RADIUS server. This data can be used for trend analysis,

capacity planning, billing, auditing, and cost analysis.

RADIUS-Administered CoS and Rate-Limiting

The switches covered in this guide take advantage of vendor-specific attri-

butes (VSAs) applied in a RADIUS server to support these optional, RADIUS-

assigned attributes:

■ 802.1p (CoS) priority assignment to inbound traffic on the specified

port(s) (port-access authentication only)

■ Per-Port Rate-Limiting on a port with an active link to an authenti-

cated client (port-access authentication only)

SNMP Access to the Switch’s Authentication

Configuration MIB

The switch’s default configuration allows SNMP access to the hpSwitchAuth

MIB (Management Information Base). A management station running an

SNMP networked device management application such as ProCurve Manager

Plus (PCM+) or HP OpenView can access the switch’s MIB for read access to

the switch’s status and read/write access to the switch’s configuration. For

more information, including the CLI command to use for disabling this feature,

refer to “Using SNMP To View and Configure Switch Authentication Features”

on page 5-21.
