Configuring an External Radius Server for Optimal Switch Support
The switch’s external Radius Server should be configured with Motorola RF Switch specific attributes to best
utilize the user privilege values assignable by the Radius Server. The following two values should be
configured on the external Server for optimal use with the switch:
• Motorola user privilege values
• User login source
Configuring Motorola Specific Radius Server User Privilege Values
The following recommended Radius Server user privilege settings specify access privilege levels for those
accessing the switch managed network. To define user privilege values, assign the following attributes in
the external Radius Server:
1. Set the attribute number to 1 and its type as "integer."
2. Define the following possible decimal values for user access permissions:
a. Set the Monitor Role value to 1 (read-only access to the switch).
b. Set the Helpdesk Role value to 2 (helpdesk/support access to the switch).
c. Set the Nwadmin Role value to 4 (wired and wireless access to the switch).
d. Set the Sysadmin Role value to 8 (system administrator access).
e. Set the WebAdmin Role value to 16 (guest user application access).
f. Set the Superuser Role value to 32768 (grants full read/write access to the switch).
3. Specify multiple privileges (for a single user) by specifying different attributes as needed. The privilege
values can be ORed and specified once. For example, if a user needs monitor (read-only) and helpdesk
access, configure the Radius Server with two attributes. Once with a value 1 for monitor access and then
with a value 2 for the helpdesk role.
Multiple roles can also be defined by configuring the Radius Server with attribute 1 and value 3 (or
monitor value 1 and helpdesk value 2).
Configuring the User Login Sources
The following recommended Radius Server user login sources specify the location (ssh/telnet/console/Web)
from which users are allowed switch access. If login access permissions are not defined (restricted), users
will be allowed to login from each interface. To define login source access locations:
1. Set the attribute number to 100 and its type as "integer."
2. Define the following possible decimal values for login sources:
a. Set the Console Access value to 128 (user is allowed login privileges only from console).
b. Set the Telnet Access value to 64 (user is allowed login privileges only from a Telnet session).
c. Set the SSH Access value to 32 (user is allowed login privileges only from ssh session).
d. Set the Web Access value to 16 (user is allowed login privileges only from Web/applet).
NOTE: If user privilege attributes are not defined for the Radius Server, users will be
authenticated with a default privilege role of 1 (Monitor read-only access).
