RADIUS authentication features
The switch supports the following RADIUS authentication features:
•
Supports RADIUS client on the switch, based on the protocol definitions in RFC 2138 and
RFC 2866.
•
Allows RADIUS secret password up to 32 bytes.
•
Supports secondary authentication server so that when the primary authentication server is
unreachable, the switch can send client authentication requests to the secondary authentication
server. Use the
/cfg/sys/radius/cur
command to show the currently active RADIUS
authentication server.
•
Supports user-configurable RADIUS server retry and time-out values:
○
Time-out value = 1-10 seconds
○
Retries = 1-3
•
The switch will time out if it does not receive a response from the RADIUS server in one to three
retries. The switch will also automatically retry connecting to the RADIUS server before it declares the
server down.
•
Supports user-configurable RADIUS application port. The default is 1645/User Datagram Protocol
(UDP)-based on RFC 2138. Port 1812 is also supported.
•
Allows network administrator to define privileges for one or more specific users to access the switch
at the RADIUS user database.
•
Allows the administrator to configure RADIUS backdoor and secure backdoor for Telnet, SSH, HTTP,
and HTTPS access.
