Authenticating Users Using RADIUS or
ExtremeWare XOS provides three methods to authenticate users who login to the switch:
●
RADIUS
●
●
Local database of accounts and passwords
RADIUS, , local database of accounts and passwords, and SSH are management access
security features that control access to the management functions available on the switch. These features
help ensure that any configuration changes to the switch can be done only by authorized users.
The information in this section describes RADIUS and . For a detailed description of the local
database of accounts and passwords (the two levels of management accounts), see
Chapter 2
,
“
Accessing the Switch
.” For information about SSH, see
“Secure Shell 2” on page 335
.
RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS), in RFC 2138, is a mechanism for authenticating
and centrally administrating access to network nodes. The ExtremeWare XOS RADIUS implementation
allows authentication for Telnet or console access to the switch.
NOTE
You cannot enable RADIUS and at the same time.
You define a primary and secondary RADIUS server for the switch to contact. When a user attempts to
log in using Telnet, HTTP, or the console, the request is relayed to the primary RADIUS server and then
to the secondary RADIUS server, if the primary does not respond. If the RADIUS client is enabled, but
access to the RADIUS primary and secondary server fails, the switch uses its local database for
authentication. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.2, you can specify one pair of RADIUS servers for
switch management and another pair for network login.
The privileges assigned to the user (admin versus nonadmin) at the RADIUS server take precedence
over the configuration in the local switch database.
