When to Use
To configure the Radius client in the module to restrict access to management functions of the
Local Management screens, by way of the COM port or network TELNET connection. On this
screen you can also enable/disable Radius and/or EAPOL on the module.
This screen allows you to set the necessary parameters to centralize the Authentication,
Authorization, and Accounting of the network resources. For information about Radius Client and
how it functions, refer back to
Section 9.1.1 and Section 9.1.2 .
How to Access
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Security Configuration menu item on the Security Menu
screen and press ENTER. The Security Configuration screen, Figure 9-2 , displays.
NOTE: Prior to setting security policy, all VLANs must be pre-configured.
The configuration and Enable State of the Radius client will be stored in NVRAM and
loaded on power-up. If the client is properly configured and enabled, the platform will
create the Radius client and enable it at boot time, superseding legacy authentication.
Otherwise, the legacy authentication becomes operational.
