RADIUS Authentication and Accounting
Overview

Overview

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) enables you to use 
up to three servers (one primary server and one or two backups) and maintain 
separate authentication and accounting for each RADIUS server employed. 
For authentication, this allows a different password for each user instead of 
having to rely on maintaining and distributing switch-specific passwords to 
all users. For accounting, this can help you track network resource usage.

You can use RADIUS to verify user identity for the follow-

ing types of primary password access to the ProCurve switch:

■

Serial port (Console)

■

Telnet

■

SSH

■

Web (Series 2600, 2600-PWR, and 2800 switches)

■

Port-Access

The switch does not support RADIUS security for SNMP (network manage-
ment) access or, for the 4100gl and 6108 switches, web browser interface 
access. For information on blocking unauthorized access through the web 
browser interface, refer to “Controlling Web Browser Interface Access When 
Using RADIUS Authentication” on page 5-17. 

RADIUS accounting on the switch collects resource consump-

tion data and forwards it to the RADIUS server. This data can be used for trend 
analysis, capacity planning, billing, auditing, and cost analysis.
