RADIUS Authentication and Accounting 
Configuring the Switch for RADIUS Authentication 
Figure 6-3. Sample Configuration for RADIUS Server Before Changing the Key 
and Adding Another Server 
To make the changes listed prior to figure 6-3, you would do the following: 
Changes the key 
for the existing 
server to 
“source0127” 
(step 1, above). 
Adds the new 
RADIUS server 
with its required 
“source0119” key. 
Lists the switch’s 
new RADIUS 
server 
configuration. 
Compare this with 
Figure 6-4. Sample Configuration for RADIUS Server After Changing the Key and Adding Another Server 
To change the order in which the switch accesses RADIUS servers, refer to 
“Changing RADIUS-Server Access Order” on page 6-60. 
4. Configure the Switch’s Global RADIUS Parameters 
You can configure the switch for the following global RADIUS parameters: 
■  Number of login attempts: In a given session, specifies how many 
tries at entering the correct username and password pair are allowed 
before access is denied and the session terminated. (This is a general 
aaa authentication parameter and is not specific to RADIUS.)
