Description
Use the
key
command to configure encryption key for RADIUS
authentication/authorization or accounting packet. Use the
undo key
command
to restore the default key.
RADIUS client (Switch) and RADIUS server use MD5 algorithm to hash the
exchanged packets. The two ends verify the packet through setting the key. Only
when the keys are identical can both ends accept the packets from each other and
give responses. So it is necessary to ensure that the keys set on the Switch and the
RADIUS server are identical. If the authentication/authorization and accounting are
performed on two different servers with different keys, you should set two keys
respectively.
