Configuring RADIUS authentication

RADIUS is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled. The mandatory commands to enable RADIUS on the local router are radius and server server-index address ip-address secret key.

The system IP address must be configured in order for the RADIUS client to work. See ‟Configuring a System Interface” in the 7210 SAS-D, Dxp, K 2F1C2T, K 2F6C4T, K 3SFP+ 8C Router Configuration Guide.

The other commands are optional. The server command adds a RADIUS server and configures the RADIUS server’s IP address, index, and key values. The index determines the sequence in which the servers are queried for authentication requests.

On the local router, use the following syntax to configure RADIUS authentication.

config>system>security
        radius
            port port
            retry count
            server server-index address ip-address secret key
            timeout seconds
            no shutdown 

Example: RADIUS authentication configuration output
