Chapter 32 Configuring RADIUS and
Switch AAA Functionalities
server is in a working state before real AAA requests are sent its way. Whenever an AAA server changes
to the dead or alive state, an SNMP trap is generated and the MDS switch warns the administrator that
a failure is taking place before it can impact performance. See
Figure 32-1
for AAA server states.
Figure 32-1
AAA Server States
Note
The monitoring interval for alive servers and dead servers is different and can be configured by the user.
The AAA server monitoring is performed by sending a test authentication request to the AAA server.
The user name and password to be used in the test packet can be configured.
See the
“Configuring RADIUS Server Monitoring Parameters” section on page 32-12
and
“Displaying
RADIUS Server Details” section on page 32-15
.
Authentication and Authorization Process
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of the person managing the switch. This identity
verification is based on the user ID and password combination provided by the person managing the
switch. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches allow you to perform local authentication (using the
lookup database) or remote authentication (using one or more RADIUS servers or servers).
The following steps explain the authorization and authentication process:
Step 1
You can log in to the required switch in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, using the Telnet, SSH, Fabric
Manager/Device Manager, or console login options.
Step 2
When you have configured server groups using the server group authentication method, an
authentication request is sent to the first AAA server in the group.
•
If the AAA server fails to respond, then the next AAA server is contacted and so on until the remote
server responds to the authentication request.
•
If all AAA servers in the server group fail to respond, then the servers in the next server group are
contacted.
•
If all configured methods fail, then the local database is used for authentication.
