RADIUS Configuration
RADIUS servers provide additional security for networks. The RADIUS server maintains a
user database, which contains per-user authentication information. The switch passes
information to the configured RADIUS server, which can authenticate a user name and
password before authorizing use of the network. RADIUS servers provide a centralized
authentication method for:
•
Web Access

The Current Server IP Address field is blank if no servers are configured (see
RADIUS
Server Configuration
on page
177). The switch supports up to three configured RADIUS
servers. If more than one RADIUS servers are configured, the current server is the server
configured as the primary server. If no servers are configured as the primary server, the
current server is the most recently added RADIUS server.
