RADIUS server. Hostnames are composed of series of labels concatenated with
dots. Each label must be between 1 and 63 characters long, and the entire host-
name has a maximum of 255 characters. This object cannot be changed after cre-
ation.
Enter the authentication port the server uses to verify the RADIUS server authenti-
cation. The port is a UDP port, and the valid range is 1-65535. The default port for
RADIUS authentication is 1812.
Enter the pass phrase for authenticating and encrypting all RADIUS communica-
tions between the device and the RADIUS server. This secret must match the
RADIUS encryption.
Apply: The Secret will only be applied if this box is checked. If the box is not

checked, anything entered in the Secret field will have no affect and will not be
retained. This field is only displayed if the user has READWRITE access.
Click the drop-down menu to set the selected server to the Primary (Yes) or Sec-
ondary (No) server. If you configure multiple RADIUS servers with the same
RADIUS Server Name, designate one server as the primary and the other(s) as the
backup server(s). The switch attempts to use the primary server first, and if the pri-
mary server does not respond, the switch attempts to use one of the backup serv-
ers with the same RADIUS Server Name. If the server is not set as Primary, by
default it is set as Secondary.
for the selected server. By default this mode is enable for the selected server.
Displays the shared secret configuration status. Indicates whether the shared
secret for this server has been configured. By default the secret key will not be set
for the server.
Displays the current status of the selected RADIUS server (Yes, current: No,
backup). If more than one RADIUS server is configured with the same name, the
switch selects one of the servers to be the current server from the group of servers
with the same name. When the switch sends a RADIUS request to the named
server, the request is directed to the server selected as the current server. Initially
the primary server is selected as the current server. If the primary server fails, one
of the other servers becomes the current server. If the primary server is not config-
ured, the current server is the most recently configured RADIUS server.
Enter the RADIUS server name. To change the name, enter up to 31 alphanumeric
characters. Spaces, hyphens, and underscores are also permitted. If you do not
assign a name, the server is assigned the default name Default-RADIUS-Server.
You can use the same name for multiple RADIUS Authentication servers. RADIUS
clients can use RADIUS servers with the same name as backups for each other.
Click Submit to update the switch with the values on the screen. If you want the
switch to retain the new values across a power cycle you must perform a save.
