Configuration Guide RADIUS Configuration
To configure the RADIUS, it is necessary to configure the RADIUS Key. The
sharing password on the network device and the sharing password on the
Radius server must be the same.
Specifying the Radius Authentication
This means defining the authentication method list for the Radius after the Radius server is
specified and the Radius authentication sharing password is defined. Since the RADIUS
authentication is done via AAA, it is required to execute the aaa authentication command to
define the authentication method list and specify the authentication method as RADIUS. For
more details, see AAA Configurations.
Specifying the Radius Standard Attribute Type
This chapter introduces configuration of Radius standard attribute type. Now the RADIUS
Calling-Station-ID attribute(the attribute type is 31) is supported.
Configuring Calling-Station-ID Format
RADIUS Calling-Station-ID attribute is used to identify the NAS when the NAS is sending the
request packets to the RADIUS server. The contents of the RADIUS Calling-Station-ID are
character strings, which can be in multiple formats. The MAC address for the NAS is usually
used as the content of the Calling-Station-ID to solely identify the NAS. The table blow lists the
formats of the MAC address:
The standard format specified by the IETF
(RFC3580). ‘-’is used as the seperator, for
example: 00-D0-F8-33-22-AC.
Normal format representing the MAC address. ‘.’
is used as the seperator. For example:
00d0.f833.22ac.
No format and seperator. By default, unformatted is
used. For example: 00d0f83322ac.
To configure the RADIUS Calling-Station-ID MAC-based attribute format, run the following
commands:
Enter the global configuration mode.
radius-server attribute 31 mac
format {ietf | normal | unformatted}
Configure the RADIUS Calling-Station-ID MAC-based
attribute format. The default format is unformatted.
