Release Y.11.16 Enhancements

For example, suppose you want the switch to use the RADIUS server described below for both

authentication and accounting purposes.

• IP address: 10.33.18.151

• A non-default UDP port number of 1750 for accounting.

• An encryption key of “source0151” for accounting sessions.

For this example, assume that all other RADIUS authentication parameters for accessing this server

are acceptable at their default settings, and that RADIUS is already configured as an authentication

method for one or more types of access to the switch (Telnet, Console, etc.).

Syntax: [no] radius-server host < ip-address >

Adds a server to the RADIUS configuration or (with no)

deletes a server from the configuration.

[acct-port < port-number >]

Optional. Changes the UDP destination port for

accounting requests to the specified RADIUS server. If

you do not use this option, the switch automatically

assigns the default accounting port number. (Default:

1813)

[key < key-string >]

Optional. Specifies an encryption key for use during

accounting or authentication sessions with the speci-

fied server. This key must match the encryption key

used on the RADIUS server. Use this command only if

the specified server requires a different encryption key

than configured for the global encryption key.

Note: If you save the config file using Xmodem or TFTP,

the key information is not saved in the file. This

causes RADIUS authentication to fail when the

config file is loaded back onto the switch.
