Authentication When Radius Servers Do Not Respond - Nortel 2300 Series Configuration Manual

70 Configuring AAA for Administrative and Local Access

Authentication When RADIUS Servers Do Not Respond

This scenario illustrates how to enable RADIUS authentication for both console and administrative users, but to uncon-
ditionally allow access for administrative and console users if the RADIUS server (in this case, server r1 in server group
sg1) does not respond. To configure unconditional authentication, Natasha sets the authentication method to none. She
types the following commands in this order:
23x0# set user natasha password m@Jor
User natasha created
23x0# set radius server r1 address 192.168.253.1 key sunFLOW#$
success: change accepted.
23x0# set server group sg1 members r1
success: change accepted.
23x0# set authentication console * sg1 none
success: change accepted.
23x0# set authentication admin * sg1 none
success: change accepted.
23x0# save config
success: configuration saved.
