ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
960
configure radius shared-secret
configure radius {mgmt-access | netlogin} [primary | secondary] shared-
secret {encrypted} <string>
Description
Configures the authentication string used to communicate with the RADIUS authentication server.
Syntax Description
Default
Unconfigured.
Usage Guidelines
The secret must be the same between the client switch and the RADIUS server.
The RADIUS server must first be configured for use with the switch as a RADIUS client.
The
mgmt-access
keyword specifies the RADIUS server used for switch management authentication.
The
netlogin
keyword specifies the RADIUS server used for network login authentication.
If you do not specify the
mgmt-access
or
netlogin
keywords, the secret applies to both the primary or
secondary switch management and netlogin RADIUS servers.
The
encrypted
keyword is primarily for the output of the
show configuration
command, so the
shared secret is not revealed in the command output. Do not use it to set the shared secret.
Example
The following command configures the shared secret as “purplegreen” on the primary RADIUS server
for both switch management and network login:
configure radius primary shared-secret purplegreen
The following command configures the shared secret as “redblue” on the primary switch management
RADIUS server:
configure radius mgmt-access primary shared-secret redblue
