Chapter 11 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
Configuring 802.1x Authentication
Configuring the Switch-to-RADIUS-Server Communication
RADIUS security servers are identified by their hostname or IP address, hostname and specific UDP port
numbers, or IP address and specific UDP port numbers. The combination of the IP address and UDP port
number creates a unique identifier, which enables RADIUS requests to be sent to multiple UDP ports on
a server at the same IP address. If two different host entries on the same RADIUS server are configured
for the same service—for example, authentication—the second host entry configured acts as the fail-over
backup to the first one. The RADIUS host entries are tried in the order that they were configured.

For key string, specify the authentication and encryption key used

the RADIUS server.
