Table 176 SECURITY > AAA > RADIUS Server Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Authentication Server
Use this section to configure your RADIUS authentication settings.
Mode This field is only valid if you configure multiple RADIUS servers.
Select index-priority and the Switch tries to authenticate with the first configured RADIUS server,
if the RADIUS server does not respond then the Switch tries to authenticate with the second
RADIUS server.
Select round-robin to alternate between the RADIUS servers that it sends authentication
requests to.
Timeout Specify the amount of time in seconds that the Switch waits for an authentication request
response from the RADIUS server.
If you are using two RADIUS servers then the timeout value is divided between the two RADIUS
servers. For example, if you set the timeout value to 30 seconds, then the Switch waits for a
response from the first RADIUS server for 15 seconds and then tries the second RADIUS server.
Delete Check this box if you want to remove an existing RADIUS server entry from the Switch. This entry
is deleted when you click Apply.
Index This is a read-only number representing a RADIUS server entry.
IP Address Enter the IPv4 address or IPv6 address of an external RADIUS server.
UDP Port The default port of a RADIUS server for authentication is 1812. You need not change this value
unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
Shared Secret Specify a password (up to 32 alphanumeric characters except [ ? ], [ | ], [ ' ], [ " ] or [ , ]) as the
key to be shared between the external RADIUS server and the Switch. This key is not sent over
the network. This key must be the same on the external RADIUS server and the Switch.
Encrypted
Shared Secret
This displays the encrypted shared secret in ‘*’ format if you enabled Server Key Encryption in
SECURITY > AAA > AAA Setup.
Note: If you forget the key you set, simply reset the key in the Shared Secret field. If a
key is encrypted, it will remain in the encrypted format even if you later disable
Server Key Encryption in SECURITY > AAA > AAA Setup.
Note: The shared secret displayed in this field does not present the actual length of
the shared secret.
Accounting Server
Use this section to configure your RADIUS accounting server settings.
Timeout Specify the amount of time in seconds that the Switch waits for an accounting request
response from the RADIUS accounting server.
Delete Check this box if you want to remove an existing RADIUS accounting server entry from the
Switch. This entry is deleted when you click Apply.
Index This is a read-only number representing a RADIUS accounting server entry.
IP Address Enter the IPv4 address or IPv6 address of an external RADIUS accounting server.
UDP Port The default port of a RADIUS accounting server for accounting is 1813. You need not change
this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
Shared Secret Specify a password (up to 32 alphanumeric characters except [ ? ], [ | ], [ ' ], [ " ] or [ , ]) as the
key to be shared between the external RADIUS accounting server and the Switch. This key is not
sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external RADIUS accounting server
and the Switch.
