Configuring Radius On The Switch (Cli Example) - HP 438031-B21 - 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application Manual

Configuring RADIUS on the switch (CLI example)

To configure RADIUS on the switch, do the following:
1.
Turn RADIUS authentication on, and then configure the Primary and Secondary RADIUS servers. For
example:
>> Main# /cfg/sys/radius
>> RADIUS Server# on
Current status: OFF
New status:
>> RADIUS Server# prisrv 10.10.1.1
Current primary RADIUS server:
New pending primary RADIUS server: 10.10.1.1
>> RADIUS Server# secsrv 10.10.1.2
Current secondary RADIUS server:
New pending secondary RADIUS server: 10.10.1.2
2. Configure the primary RADIUS secret and secondary RADIUS secret.
>> RADIUS Server# secret
Enter new RADIUS secret: <1-32 character secret>
>> RADIUS Server# secret2
Enter new RADIUS second secret: <1-32 character secret>
CAUTION:
If you configure the RADIUS secret using any method other than a direct console
connection, the secret may be transmitted over the network as clear text.
3. If desired, you may change the default User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number used to listen to
RADIUS. The well-known port for RADIUS is 1645.
>> RADIUS Server# port
Current RADIUS port: 1645
Enter new RADIUS port [1500-3000]: <UDP port number>
4.
Configure the number of retry attempts for contacting the RADIUS server and the timeout period.
>> RADIUS Server# retries
Current RADIUS server retries: 3
Enter new RADIUS server retries [1-3]: <server retries>
>> RADIUS Server# time
Current RADIUS server timeout: 3
Enter new RADIUS server timeout [1-10]: 10
5.
Apply and save the configuration.
>> RADIUS Server# apply
>> RADIUS Server# save
ON
0.0.0.0
