Defining Radius Client
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (Radius) is a logon authentication protocol that uses software
running on a central server to control access to Radius-aware devices on the network. An authentication
server contains a database of multiple user name/password pairs with associated privilege levels for each
user or group that require management access to a switch.
The Radius Client Setup Page allows the administrator to configure the parameters for the switch acting as
the RADIUS client.

Radius Client Setup Page item description
Item Description
Host IP Address
Defines the RADIUS Server IP address.
Authentication Port
Defines the authentication port. The authentication port is used to verify the
RADIUS server authentication. The authentication port default is 1812.
Number of Retries
Defines the number of transmitted requests sent to the RADIUS server before a
failure occurs. Possible field values are 1-20. The default value is 5.
Timeout for Reply
Defines the amount of time (in seconds) the switch waits for an answer from the
RADIUS server before retrying the query, or switching to the next server. Possible
field values are 1-20. The default value is 5.
Key String
Defines the default key string used for authenticating and encrypting all
Radius-communication between the switch and the Radius server. This key must
match the Radius encryption.
Configuring LDB
If your switch is not enabled with an advanced authentication method, like RADIUS, for authentication, you
can use the local database (LDB) feature to perform local authentication (port-based authentication). After
the switch is enabled with the LDB feature and related access rights are configured, a user trying to access
an address through the switch will be authenticated. After successful authentication, the switch allows the
user to use the corresponding port. Otherwise, the port is blocked.
