Configuring RADIUS Parameters
Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers provide a centralized
802.1X or MAC-based network access control. The switch is a RADIUS client that
relies on a RADIUS server to provide centralized security, authorizing and
authenticating users attempting to access and administer the switch.
For the RADIUS server to grant access to the web-based switch configuration
utility, the RADIUS server must return cisco-avpair = shell:priv-lvl=15.
Use this page to enable the configuration of the RADIUS server parameters the
switch uses to communicate with the servers.
To set the default RADIUS parameters:
STEP 1 Click Security > RADIUS. The RADIUS Page displays.
The RADIUS table displays the specific parameters for each defined RADIUS
server.
STEP 2 Enter the default RADIUS parameters. Values entered in the Default Parameters
are applied to all servers. If a value is not entered for a specific server the switch
uses the values in these fields.
• IP Version—Displays the supported IP version: IPv6 and/or IPv4 subnet.
• Number of Retries—Enter the number of transmitted requests that are sent
to the RADIUS server before a failure is considered to have occurred.
• Timeout for Reply—Enter the number of seconds that the switch waits for
an answer from the RADIUS server before retrying the query, or switching to
the next server.
• Dead Time—Enter the number of minutes that elapse before a non-
responsive RADIUS server is bypassed for service requests. If the value is 0,
the server is not bypassed.
