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.

The other commands are optional. The server command adds a RADIUS server and configures the RADIUS server 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
