Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (Radius) is a logon authentication protocol that uses 

software running on a central server to control access to Radius-aware devices on the network. An 

authentication server contains a database of multiple user name/password pairs with associated 

privilege levels for each user or group that require management access to a switch. 

The Radius Client Setup Page allows the administrator to configure the parameters for the switch acting 

as the RADIUS client. 

Click Security > RADIUS Client > Setup. The Radius Client Setup Page opens.
