Configuring RADIUS Authentication Settings

This section assumes that RADIUS security server is already up

and running on a workstation on your network.

Use the following CLI command to configure RADIUS

authentication settings:

set authentication

primary_server

<name_or_ip_address>

secondary_server

<name_or_ip_address>

primary_secret

secondary_secret

retransmissions

timeout

To configure RADIUS authentication settings:

Select the primary RADIUS security server:

set authentication primary_server

<ip_address>

Optional. Select the secondary RADIUS security server.

If your network has more than one RADIUS server, indicate

which one will be considered the secondary server. If for

some reason the primary server is unavailable, the

NETServer will check with the secondary server.

set authentication secondary_server

<ip_address>

Set the primary encryption key or secret.

This is the primary encryption key that the NETServer uses

to encrypt passwords and that the RADIUS server uses to

decrypt them.
