Detailed Hardware Installation and Initial Setup Steps
Overview
9. Specify the RADIUS Clients
You must now specify the RADIUS clients—the network switches—that will
use the DCM Controller to authenticate the server interfaces. Using vi or
another text editor, edit the /etc/raddb/clients.conf file to include each client,
its IP address, and the shared secret (which must match the secret configured
on the switch). (For a list of vi commands, see “vi Editor” on page B-5 in
Appendix B: “Manually Editing DCM Controller Files.”)
1. Enter:
vi /etc/raddb/clients.conf
2. Locate the Client line.
Client <IP address> {
secret = <shared secret>
shortname = <short name>
}
3. Press i to enter insert mode.
4. Edit the following options:
Replace <IP address> with the IP address of a switch that will use the
DCM Controller’s RADIUS server.
Replace <secret> with the shared secret that will also be configured on
the switch.
Replace <shortname> with a descriptive name for the switch only.
5. Press the Esc key to exit insert mode and return to command mode.
6. Enter the following to save your changes and exit the file:
:wq
7. Reboot the DCM Controller:
reboot
10. Access the DCM Controller’s Web browser interface
1. Open a Web browser.
Note There should not be a Web proxy server between your management worksta-
tion and the DCM Controller.
