Switch Management 7 - 27

4. Modify the following Radius Server attributes as necessary: 

5. Refer to the 

Status

 field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error messages if 

something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.

6. Click on 

OK

 to complete the modification of the Radius Server.

7. Click 

Cancel

 to revert back to the last saved configuration without saving any of your changes.

7.6.2.2 Adding an External Radius Server

The attributes of a new Radius Server can be defined by the switch to provide a new user authentication server. Once the 
server is configured and added, it displays within the 

Authentication

 tab as an option available to the switch.

To define the attributes of a new Radius Server:

1. Select 

Management Access 

>

 Users 

from the main menu tree.

The Users screen displays.

2. Select the 

Authentication

 tab. 

3. Click the 

Add 

button at the bottom of the screen. 

Radius Server Index

Displays the read-only numerical 

Index

 value for the Radius Server to help distinguish this server from other 

servers with a similar configuration (if necessary). The maximum number that can be assigned is 32.

Radius Server IP 
Address

Modify the IP address of the external Radius server (if necessary). Ensure this address is a valid IP address 
and not a DNS name.

Radius Server Port

Change the TCP/IP port number for the Radius Server (if necessary). The port range available for assignment 
is from 1 - 65535.

Number of retries to 
communicate with 
Radius Server

Revise (if necessary) the maximum number of times the switch retransmits a Radius Server frame before it 
times out of the authentication session. The available range is between 0 - 100.

Time to wait for 
Radius Server to reply

Revise (if necessary) the maximum time (in seconds) the switch waits for the Radius Server’s 
acknowledgment of authentication request packets before the switch times out of the session. The 
configurable range is between 1 - 1000 seconds.

Encryption key shared 
with Radius Server

Enter the encryption key the switch and Radius Server share and must validate before the user 
authentication scheme provided by the Radius Server can be initiated.
