Auto-Command
You can configure the system through the RADIUS server to automatically execute a command when you
connect to a specific line.
The auto-command command is executed when the user is authenticated and before the prompt appears to
the user.

Configuration Task List for RADIUS
To authenticate users using RADIUS, specify at least one RADIUS server so that the system can communicate
with and configure RADIUS as one of your authentication methods.
The following list includes the configuration tasks for RADIUS.
• Defining a AAA Method List to be Used for RADIUS (mandatory)
• Applying the Method List to Terminal Lines (mandatory except when using default lists)
• Specifying a RADIUS Server Host (mandatory)
• Setting Global Communication Parameters for all RADIUS Server Hosts (optional)
• Monitoring RADIUS (optional)
For a complete listing of all Dell Networking OS commands related to RADIUS, refer to the Security chapter in
the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
NOTE: RADIUS authentication and authorization are done in a single step. Hence, authorization cannot be
used independent of authentication. However, if you have configured RADIUS authorization and have not
configured authentication, a message is logged stating this. During authorization, the next method in the
list (if present) is used, or if another method is not present, an error is reported.
To view the configuration, use the show config in LINE mode or the show running-config command in
EXEC Privilege mode.
Defining a AAA Method List to be Used for RADIUS
To configure RADIUS to authenticate or authorize users on the system, create a AAA method list.
Default method lists do not need to be explicitly applied to the line, so they are not mandatory.
To create a method list, use the following commands.
• Enter a text string (up to 16 characters long) as the name of the method list you wish to use with the
RADIUS authentication method.
