Table 101
Switch RADIUS Configuration controls
Control Description
Radius Secret
Defines the shared secret (up to 32 characters) between the switch and
the RADIUS server(s).
Secondary Radius Server Secret
Defines the secondary shared secret (up to 32 characters) between the
switch and the Radius server(s).
IMPORTANT:
If RADIUS is enabled, you must login using RADIUS authentication when connecting
via the console or Telnet/SSH/HTTP/HTTPS. Backdoor for console is always enabled, so you can
connect using noradius and the administrator password even if the backdoor or secure backdoor
are disabled.
If Telnet backdoor is enabled, type in
noradius
as a backdoor to bypass RADIUS checking, and
use the administrator password to log into the switch. The switch allows this even if RADIUS servers
are available.
If secure backdoor is enabled, type in
noradius
as a backdoor to bypass RADIUS checking, and
use the administrator password to log into the switch. The switch allows this only if RADIUS servers
are not available.
