Motorola WS5100 User Manual

4-39

 

The following recommended Radius Server user privilege settings specify access privilege levels for those 
accessing the switch managed network. To define user privilege values, assign the following attributes in 
the external Radius Server:

1. Set the attribute number to 1 and its type as "integer."

2. Define the following possible decimal values for user access permissions:

a. Set the 

value to 1 (read-only access to the switch).

b. Set the 

 value to 2 (helpdesk/support access to the switch).

c. Set the 

 value to 4 (wired and wireless access to the switch).

d. Set the 

 value to 8 (system administrator access).

e. Set the

 value to 16 (guest user application access).

f. Set the 

 value to 32768 (grants full read/write access to the switch).

3. Specify multiple privileges (for a single user) by specifying different attributes as needed. The privilege 

values can be ORed and specified once. For example, if a user needs monitor (read-only) and helpdesk 
access, configure the Radius Server with two attributes. Once with a value 1 for monitor access and then 
with a value 2 for the helpdesk role. 

Multiple roles can also be defined by configuring the Radius Server with attribute 1 and value 3 (or 
monitor value 1 and helpdesk value 2). 

The following recommended Radius Server user login sources specify the location (ssh/telnet/console/Web) 
from which users are allowed switch access. If login access permissions are not defined (restricted), users 
will be allowed to login from each interface. To define login source access locations:

1. Set the attribute number to 100 and its type as "integer."

2. Define the following possible decimal values for login sources:

a. Set the 

value to 128 (user is allowed login privileges only from console).

b. Set the 

 value to 64 (user is allowed login privileges only from a Telnet session).

c. Set the 

 value to 32 (user is allowed login privileges only from ssh session).

d. Set the 

 value to 16 (user is allowed login privileges only from Web/applet).

3. Specify multiple access sources by using different values. The privilege values can be ORed and specified 

once. For example, if a user needs access from both the console and Web, configure the Radius Server 
with the 100 attribute twice, once with value 128 for console and next with value 16 for Web access.

To configure the WLAN data encryption options available on the switch, refer to the following:

NOTE: If user privilege attributes are not defined for the Radius Server, users will be 
authenticated with a default privilege role of 1 (Monitor read-only access).
