UTHENTICATION UTHORIZATION
Authorization password
Use of the WX switch's system IP address as the source address for
RADIUS packets from the switch
When you create a new RADIUS server, the default settings apply to the
new server.
To change default values for RADIUS parameters
1 Access the RADIUS defaults:
a Select the Configuration tool bar option.
b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch.
c Click the plus sign next to AAA.
d Select RADIUS.
2 In the Timeout box, specify how long WX switch must wait (1 to 65,535
seconds) for a RADIUS server to respond before retransmitting. The
default is 5 seconds.
3 In the Retry Count box, specify the number of transmission attempts
(1 to 100) for a RADIUS request. The default is 3.
4 In the Dead Time box, specify the amount of time (0 to 1440 minutes)
that must elapse before the WX switch attempts to reach an
unresponsive RADIUS server. The default is 0 minutes.
When the dead time is set to 0, and there are two or more RADIUS
servers in a RADIUS server group, authentication starts with the first
server in the group, unless there are two or more RADIUS servers and
load sharing is configured, in which case authentication starts by trying a
server in round-robin style.
5 In the Key box, type the password (also known as a shared secret key)
used to authenticate to the RADIUS server.
You must provide the same password that is defined on the RADIUS
server. The password can be 1 to 64 characters long, with no spaces or
tabs.
6 In the Authorization Password box, type the password used for outbound
authentication and authorization to a RADIUS server. The authorization
password can be 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters long, with no spaces or
tabs.
