RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) enables you to use
up to three servers (one primary server and one or two backups) 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 distributing 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 ProCurve switch:
■ Serial port (Console)
■ Telnet
■ SSH
■ Web (5400zl, 4200vl, 2800s as of software version I.08.60, and 2600s
as of software version H.08.58 switches)
■ Port-Access (802.1X)
The switch also supports RADIUS accounting for Web Authentication and
MAC authentication sessions.
